  Ya know.. there is supposedly a universal cable which will allow the
connecting of the SONY CDROM33A to the SB16 - internally - if you're
unfortunate enough to have an older SB16.  I think the cost of the cable
is around $10 but this will also free up your line-in port since the
line-in and the mic input can't be used / connected at the same time.
