Have a look at http://www.maxcom.nl/cardport/cardportcd-e.html
This device is sort of expensive (I think US$ 300-400) but very cool. You can
plug it in and out at any time - no need for reboot. Works great with OS/2 if you
care.
I have heard that Sony sells a "CD-ROM Discman" with scsi interface for US$
150,-
Have fun
