DIY CD drive based on a computer CDROM

[rickerlove]

You are absolutely right about the provided pcb design. I don't know what they are thinking when they do that.

So.. I just yanked all the wires out of my protoboard for the Mucop and I'm setting up to give the Pandora a whril. I'm trying to compare the PCB layout with the ASM code to figure out the schematic but it seems to be a little tedious. I'm trying to get a back issue of the article but shipping alone is rediculous for the magazine. If anyone has a scan of the shematic it would really help a lot.

BTW, I live in the GTA too.

append an "at" and your isp's name to my screen name and
send me an email

Lupulroz,
Your project looks superb and I would love to obtain source code, either raw or in hex format. If you are uncomfortable giving your code away, I would be happy to pay for a pre-programmed PIC.

I can't seem to access your website, says it is temporarily unavailable.






Thanks,

I have been trying to find the article. Can you help?

Please email me.

as an additional thought- don't you guys have an equivalent
of "inter library loans "
since it's a UK publication- I would assume some of your public
libraries would subscribe?

Fmak,
You could try Ealing Broadway Reference Library. They used to hold a year or two's worth of Elektor but things may have changed. Failing that you could arrange for you local library to borrow a copy from the Document Supply Centre in Boston Spa.
One place that would definitely have the issue of Elektor you seek is the British Library in St Pancras but it can be difficult to gain access.
The IEEE Library in Savoy Place, Central London also carries Elektor.

hi,
i would like to share my problems here with those would doing the MuCop and the pandora.

1)For Mucop,the circuit seem hang when the play button pressed? u all facing the same problem?

2)can anyone tell me what is the purpose of AtaIdentifyDevice and the Ata_Reg_sectornumber inside MuCop code?

3)the program hang at AtaReadPacketToc,have anyone solve this problem?help me!

i have tried the pandora,the circuit connection a bit different compare with the Mucop..The codes of pandora,frankly speaking easier to understand because have the description beside the code.It made the code simple.BUt pandora have lesser functions.
Thus,i preferred Mucop
