Anyways, to the meat of the post. I've been wondering--and contimplating--if it was possible to take an ordinary computer CD drive (probably IDE interface) and somehow flash it's firmware to be recognized as the CD drive in a 3DO console.
I know it sounds complicated and iffy at best, but theoretically it should be possible. People do it all the time nowadays with Xbox 360's and DVD drives; of course, those consoles are as close as you can get to an actual computer. But still, there might be hope. Perhaps it can be done with that proprietary CD drive used with the 3DO Blaster. Perhaps I'm just chasing an impossible dream. I don't know.
What I do know is that if this were to become a reality, the first step would be to look through all the 3DO dev stuff (which is unfortunately in Russian for the most part).
Just a thought...
