I've tried it (a 4X and a 32X) and they both worked fine (and I used
SHSUCDX if anyone is interested). If the 4X had buttons to skip songs etc.
I would make a CD player out of it and store it in the families cabin.

However I noticed something very weird regarding ATAPI with my new machine,
in DOS the normal ATAPI drivers work fine, but in Windows (both 95 and ME)
it didn't.
The fix was installing the Windows drivers for the motherboard (ViA
chipset), which happened to be on... yes you guessed it - a CD ;-)
