- Greetings!
-
- If you are talking about digitizing directly using the SCSI bus, your
- CD-ROM drive must support that and I think only a couple of models of
- SONY and Toshyba will. There are some utilities on Aminet (cdda112.lha
- and SCSIUtil.lha come to mind, both are in disk/cdrom) that can take raw
- CD data and store them as IFF sound files.
-
- If your drive doesn't support that, then you will need an audio digitizer
- for the Amiga.
-
- If your CD drive has an earphone jack on the front like my NEC does,
- just buy (or make) a cable to convert the mini-phono jack to RCA
- plugs (which is what most audio digitizers use for input) and sample that
- way.
-
- If you don't have an earphone jack then you will have to make a cable
- that uses the audio out from the back of the CD-ROM (where it plugs into
- an IBM soundcard). I don't know what levels are on this connection so I
- don't know if its at speaker/earphone levels or line-out levels.
