I know this is a odd question but I know someone has to have the answer.  We
have two options to get pure digital out of our CD-ROM drives.  Digital
Audio Extraction via the IDE or SCSI interfaces or the Digital Out if
supported on the drive and if you have a audio card that supports this like
I do.

Anyway most of the software products seem to want to extract via the
IDE/SCSI interface.  This turns out to be mostly compatible with midrange
CD-ROM drives but still produces pops and clicks occasionally.

The Digital Audio out port is more complicated because even if it is labeled
on your drive it is usually not implemented.  Also many software packages
don't work with the CD-ROM drive when you select the sound card method of
extraction and storage. This in theory would produce the best digital output
from the CD-ROM.

My goal is to use the optical connector of my sound card to connect to the
MiniDisk recorder and some type of digital playback software to control the
CD-ROM and audio output.

Thanks
