	Well, what you need to do is get your CD-ROM to extract the data
at 2424 byte sectors which as I recall, the Toshiba does support without
any firmware upgrades.  As long as you can see the directory structure of
the CD-ROM, then it would work and this needs to be done in CD XA Mode 1
and Mode 2 compatibility mode.
