Hi there, Does anyone know of any CD Rom units that come in pre-made units with the laser/servos etc that could possibly link directly into a pic micro with little effort? I'm looking for ways that a pic micro can interface with a CD rom without having to have an entire CD unit with a IDE interface, possibly a unit with D0 - D7 and control lines etc ... Speed is not an issue with single speed being preffered. Maybe someone has a circuit schematic that can do this so i can make the unit myself? or somewhere i can find information on how to make this? Also are there any saftey issues i need to be aware of when dealing with the lasers? Thanks in advance! Tim _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
