    Hey,
    Looking for a drive with the following functions (hardware not software):
    Play/skip forward/skip backward/stop/eject.

    Any ideas? I have 2 here with Play/skip forward/stop/eject but skip backwards would be very handy!

    Thanks,
    Mark

    to use the buttons to play CD`s you need the little audio cable that goes from the drive to the sound card or you wont hear anything

    I used to have plextor CDRW and CDROM drives that had the play/skip buttons.

    They were SCSI and its at leat 5 years since i had them but theywere the PX-40Ti internal 40x SCSI CDROM and the PlexWriter 8/2/20 CSCSI CDRW.

    Would you be willing to part with it for a fair price? Or I could swap you a 52x CD-rw?
