Vincent, I recently bought a 12X CD ROM Drive for $5.00, and was going to use it for a stand alone MPEG player. I'd appreciate it if you would share with me what you have so far, and in return, I will let you in on anything I come up with relating to the same. My email address is jamesp@intertex.net.
