Hello there, I have a problem and was hoping any of you out there could 
help me. I own an AT machine and wanted to purchace a NEC CDR-35 CD-ROM 
unit. I also have a Turbo-Grafx 16, and would like the CD player for that 
too. Here's what I wanted to know: If I buy the Turbo-Grafx 16 CD-ROM 
(Made by NEC of course), would I be able to buy only the interface part 
(and cables) of the NEC CDR-35, so I could just switch the player itself 
between the AT and the Turbo-Grafx 16? If so, KUDOS to NEC. If not, 
WHY??? They're both SCSI (I think) so they should work out, but if I 
could get them the way described above, could someone out there 
arrange a way to get them (I don't know if you could get only the 
Interface part (and the cables + controller card) of the CDR-35) but they 
(The turbo-Grafx CD and the CDR-35) both look alike (the player part of 
them). Please help. THANX,
