Whoops! I re-read that an realized my spelling checker screwed up. I meant that "Paul Davis thought that you could NOT connect this to a cdrom drive output, but i have called a few vendors and the believe this is not the case "
There is defiantly confusion on this issue. I talked to 8 vendors. 5 of them thought that you could connect the 2 pin digital out from a cdrom drive to the card at the cd-in port and 3 weren't sure. It is after all labeled "CD-ROM/Sync in" and there is a "Internal" setting on the IEC958 Input Connector' option There has to be a way to get this working...even if i have to call Germany.
