Is anyone working on hacking CD-ROM firmwares ?

Like fixing bugs, adding interesting new features etc. ?

Party on,

Improving compatibility with copy-protected audio CDs,
improving CDDA ripping,
adding new ATA features ( like media change notification )

especially older units could be "upgraded" with some new features ...

Party on,

I think thats is from hardware side, not firmware.

Some copy-protections are done by adding a bogus session after the normal audio session. The decision what session to read and what not is done by firmware IMHO.

Let's wait for someone who know this area better to post :-)

Ouch... This would not be worth the time it would take. If you want special features, look into the drive that you buy next time to make sure that it has those features. If you want a certain feature, complain to the manufacturer.
