Just a simple cable?  To where?  To a SCSI controller card?  But then
this would require that the CD drive have extra H/W to make it look like
a SCSI device.  I suppose that it could connect to the external disk
expansion port, but then the CD drive will have to have extra hardware
to make it look like a floppy.  And about that simple software...simple
if the CD has the extra hardware.  Oh well.

Actually, I've been waiting for this for a while.  I'm surprise no one
has come out with one earlier.

(Yes, but can it play my Star Tracks CD?)
