Others have pointed out using an external scsi CD ROM player with an adapter. That's what I did with my 5300cs - except the CD player is in my Mac IIvx that was just gathering dust. It's a somewhat bulky setup, but it works just fine, and adds another available hard drive as well. Any Mac with a scsi connection and a CD player should work.
