Forget about it. Use the SCSI port. The floppy connector is not a digital interface which you could interface to a CD. It connects the floppy controller circuit in the 2400 to a floppy disk drive's read/write heads, drive motor, and head position stepper motor. It is theoretically possible to create a circuit that interfaces a SCSI or IDE CD to a floppy controller, but there wouldn't be much point in doing that. It would be quite slow, since you would only be able to read data as fast as a floppy drive can. Tim Seufert ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
