Can I use a PC CD-Rom drive to replace a Duo drive?
« on: April 20, 2006, 02:09:36 AM »
Can I use a PC CD-Rom drive to replace a Duo drive? I was wondering if there is anything special about the cd rom drives themselves or not?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

No. Completely different firmware among many other important things. It is futile, don't even try it. Sorry.

Maybe you can't use a PC CD-rom for a DUO, but you can use your PC AS a duo!!  Hehe!

But I've always wondered if you could make a computer program that emulated just the TG16's external CD drive...

You could always find that prototype of a SCSI cable that connects from the HuCard slot to your PC so you can use your PC as a CD drive ;) .

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
