Hey,

ok, that sounds like a weird question and i'm shure it's not possible, but i'll ask anyway:

is there a way to connect a cd-drive to the mpc 1000 ? (I don't mean to connect a cd-player via audio-jacks with the mpc, but to use usb or the HD-Cable to connect a computer CD-Drive)

I mean it's possible for the mpc 2500, maybe there is a way to do it on the 1000, too?

you have a working IDE drive there dont you? youd have to at least make it sit on a box with the ide optical drive in it. the mpc may require it to be any of a number of devices, and perhaps that they be writable too. in which case, the cd/dvd drive idea wont work.

are the guts of the 2500 that much different from the 1000? does there exist an unused link for an optical drive?
