yeah, the Duo and TG-CD/PCE-CD use completely different CD-ROM drives.  I'd be surprised if there was a compatible part between them.

Yeah, I'd really like to see if this one works out myself.  Take a screwdriver to it, jayrawk!  :clap: The Duo, at least, does not need a soldering iron IIRC.  I'd think the same for the TG-16 CD-ROM, but I've never opened one of those.

Here's how it's done for the Duo -- I can't imagine it'd be too different for the TG16 CD unit.  Use it as a guide if necessary.
