Summary: It Depends


	The high-end CD audio players, in particular the combi-player
from Philips as well as some of its high-end audio-only players
will indeed be capable of being used as a CD-ROM or CD-I drive
when connected to the appropriate computer hardware.  What is required
is a computer control and I/O port; I'm not sure about the drive
you have.  If you purchased it recently and it is a high-end drive,
it should have a computer port (since it's Philips.)
