Broken CD32 drive. Can I replace it

[doctorq]

Hi,

as the title says my drive in my CD32 is broken. I searched the forums, but all I found was a topic saying that I could try Veselia for a replecement drive.

As I have a lot of old CD drives, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to hack a CD drive for use in a CD32? Then I think I will crack one of the old ones to hopefully see the computer come alive once again. I have a drive from a Playstation, could that work?

I'm pretty sure the drive is broken as it doesn't want to spin the cds, and if it spins the cd nothing happens.

As a replacement drive only cost around 7 EURO at www.veselia.de, I think I just buy a new drive for it, as I need it to be able to boot from CDs and don't want to expand it with a SX module.

Thanks for the information guys, it's appreciated.
