But if these old drives can't read any CD-Rs, that would suck.
I don't think they're as reflective as pressed CDs, and CD-RWs even less so.
If it's any help, I have an old CD-ROM + soundcard interface stashed away somewhere (I'm guessing it's MKE) that I could do some kind of test with. I'm kinda out of CD-Rs at the moment, though I could probably scrounge one up. I already have an old PC set up anyways.
I was burning at 1X because I thought it might make a difference. The older drives tend to prefer more reflective media, so they typically do not work with CDRWs, but CDRs should be fine.
If somebody had a CD with public domain SNES ROMs on it, which has been confirmed to work with the CD7, I could then eliminate the format being the problem.
The problem was the media. Originally, I only tested it out with blue CDRs of two different brands. This time I tried a gold CDR. It works perfectly now. Here are pictures of the final product:
Do you still want to make more of them and sell them? I own a Professor SFII and would like to get one of these. And where do I get the shematics from "The Dumper" for this PCB?
Any chance of the CD7 clone hardware being for sale? I would be interested in either how to make one myself or where I can purchase the clone hardware. Anyone who has an authentic CD7 is hanging on to it because they're extremely rare these days. I would too if I had one of my own.

I've lost my cd7 schematics (From Dumper's) for a long time.
Is there anyone who has that schematics?
Could you please send me a copy of the CD7 schematics!! My e-mail: vinceapp at gmail dot com
Great Thanks!!
Yatta!
