How hard would it be to "make" an LT?

[soop]

make a drive interface with buffering and solve that

The PC engine isn't designed to buffer that much, so i isn't designed to read that much. You'd have to build it from scratch

i know.
it would require a custom cd rom interface, and a different drive

I haven't used a CD walkman in a long time, but I remember the drive always spinning/streaming data and never turning off and I don't recall ever thinking they were huge battery hogs.  Don't the PCEngine and TurboGrafx drives act as portable walkman and take AA batteries? (I've only ever owned Duos)  How long do the batteries last playing music as a portable?  I'm just thinking that there is no way the screen bats are going to out last the CD batteries. You're going to have to charge it when the screen bats go down so you'll just be topping of the CD bats at each charge really.
