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
