Hi,
anyone know how to make a normal PC CDROM drive play a standard audio CD
(CD-DA), when only a power supply and no IDE cable is connected?
I've tried the simplest

on three cdrom drives that I happened to get. Power is taken from PC,
for now. However it doesn't work, no automatic playback.
As usual the cdroms have only an eject button, volume control, and a
headphone jack.
Is there some easy way to make it work?
Or do the current drives require an ATAPI command to start playing?
Reason: I need a simple portable/stand-alone (for demos) serial audio
source (MCLK, SCLK, SDATA, LRCLK) with 44.1kHz 16bit stereo to test and
debug a prototype of another project. Old PC cdrom drives are abundant
and free!!, whereas portable cd players are not ;-))
thanks,
