Is there a faster way to rip besids dc -> serial cable?

[I Like to Rip]

Where does it connect to the dc system?

Where does it connect to the pc?

This BBA is obviously more than just a cable. =]

I'll see if I cant find the website that was talking about the Yamaha drive. Supposedly it has some software with it that you can simply copy each track then go through and downsample as needed and burn on regular cd-r. Course it does sound too easy to be true and I could not find a Yamaha 400at model on at http://www.yamaha.com
