looking at my sony cdu33a-01 ... it does indeed have a somewhat
different cable! that's because it runs on a "sort of " scsi interface.
The sound cards it interfaces with have NOT the newer IDE but a single line
scsi with special drivers. Mine interfaces to the (Media Vision) Pro Audio
Spectrum card (which IS still in my computer). Some of the media vision
stuff had an adaptor (extra$ $) that gave a full scsi interface. I don't
know what you do have, but if you can find a surplus PAS 16 sound card... it
is(was) listed as supported.
brian :) ;)
