Got a new CD audio cable for my SB16 and just want to make sure it is wired the right way around (L/R) - is there a DOS tool out there I can use to verify left/right CD audio?

I guess I could burn an audio CD with left-only/right-only tracks on it to test? In which case, what is a recommended CD player DOS program?

Thanks!

You could just use a continuity meter on the cable.
Also, you can review this article: https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/CD_audio_connectors

Thank you, that gives me the SB16 connector pinout so I'll track down a pinout for the CD-ROM side and make sure it's lined up correctly 😀
