Are there any 3rd party cd drives that also work with a classic?
I recently resurrected an old Pioneer DRM-602x, which is compatible with any Mac with an SCSI port. The beauty about this drive is that it has a 6-disc CD changer, which is great if you want to play multiple audio CDs, or CD-ROMs, and not have to worry about constantly swapping discs.

I have a thread about it on the 68k forums (viewtopic.php?f=16&t=17642). I'm currently trying to get it to play audio CDs on my SE, albeit with a bit of difficulty, since the program that is used to control the tracks on audio discs is not compatible with non-Color Quickdraw Macs (it will play CD-ROMs without any problems, however). I think I may have a later version of the software driver, which could potentially be the cause of the problem, as it works perfectly on my 5215CD.
