I want to play CDs in my CD drive and listen to them on the BeBox speaker or through the line-out ports. Do I need a special cable? If so, what cable and where can I buy one?

You need to connect the CD-ROM drive to the BeBox I/O board with a "pass-through cable." Pass-through cables are available at larger electronics supply stores.

Make sure you buy one that has a connector for your brand of CD-ROM drive at one end, and a connector compatible with a ProAudio Spectrum 16 card at the other (this is the end you connect to the connector on the I/O board). One manufacturer we've purchased parts from is TTS Multimedia Systems, 2045 San Elijo Ave., Cardiff, CA 92007, (800) 887-4968.
