CDs are dying

Not sure what's more annoying -- waiting 1.5h for Kaiser to burn radiology CDs or realizing that I actually didn't have a working CD *reader* at home.

Managed to get something working:

Parts:
- 1 SATA<->PATA converter from old server
- old ATX power supply
- my trusty Rackable home server, w/ internal AHCI adapter
- An ancient Sony CD drive.  [Broken]
- A CD drive pulled from an old AMD K6 tower [working]

And of course 1 of the CDs is defective and I'll have to get that again. oof..  CDs deserve to die.
