- The SGI and new Apple CD-ROM drives (Toshiba makes the SGI unit,
- while Sony makes the Apple unit) supports the proper SCSI command
- to access audio data from audio CDs. I haven't tried it, but
- someone mentioned in a comp.sys.mac.* newsgroup said that with
- the newer Macs and the Apple 300i drive, he was able to
- disconnect the supplied microphone and record directly from an
- audio CD into a Mac SND file. However it's done, it's certainly
- possible--I didn't followup to find out what the sampling rate
- was.
