[comp.ivideodisc] Wanted: ANY Info on RS-232 Controllable CD-Audio Player

iav1917%ritcv@cs.rit.edu (alan i. vymetalik) (04/15/89)

   Hello net!

   I hope SOMEONE can help me here.  I posted this a little while ago,
   but the complete lack of ANY response made me curious.  No one out
   there wants a computer-controlled CD-Audio player???  Strange.
   No one is making one???!  Even stranger!  I need some leads to a
   company and/or solution to this problem:

      I need to find a computer-controlled (through a standard RS-232
   protocol interface) CD-audio player for a project I am working on.
   It doesn't have to be a CD-ROM player, but that would be OK.  I need
   to be able to control the player in the same way as the controls do
   on the player itself as well as being able to position the laser
   pickup anywhere on the disc.  It than will simply play the audio
   after positioning.  That's it.  Simple, right?  Can anyone help?

      Please e-mail or write.

      Thanks in advance,
      Alan

Nearly all new CD-ROM players support audio, can you use a ROM drive
with SCSI or AT bus card?

Good Luck
