I guess CD ROMS are designed for speed in data reading (and going 2 directions) I would say the drive needs a controler that will set speed paramiters OR computers use buffers to keep info in memory and play it back at the proper speed.
CD-ROM Transport

I take it this could be extrapalated to create a CD-ROM transport with coax out. Then you can just pick up a CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM/CD-RW, etc., for that matter) with "Play/Pause" and "Forward/Backward" buttons, etc. and voila! a *very cheap* (and assumably durable) tranport is born.
I mean, I'm looking at the back of one of my spare CD-ROM drives (I work in the IT industry) and there it is: "Digital Audio Out."
What do you guys think? Has any of you ever tried this?
Thanks,
Mark
