# CD_PLAYER_BAS

I was interested to read the discussion of tape backup and CD player control in volume 5 issue 2 of IQLR, on page 6, since I sorted this out on my 68040 based SuperQL in January, and all the necessary BASIC will appear in the next PD release of Amiga Qdos! At first I thought this was unlikely to be useful to other Qdos enthusiasts, but in view of recent interest in the QXL, the rebirth of the Amiga thanks to Escom, and the Mac Qdos emulator, there may be quite a few people with appropriate hardware to share my work.
