Adding CDROM emulation support?
I know this is probably a long shot but I was wondering if you could get in touch with Kevin Moonlight and ask him if he can share his Panasonic CDROM emulation code for use with the PicoGUS?
He made a video about what he's done here -

At present we don't really have a way of getting CDROM audio working in DOS on real hardware without a real CDROM drive, so working CDROM emulation would be nice to have.
Hi, I’m in regular contact with Kevin. Being able to use his CD-ROM emulation is a definite possibility for the PicoGUS. Stay tuned!
... can... you have that done by Thursday last week? {smirk} I've been LOOKING at another solution, but, if there's enough room on this PGUS.... Wow.
The big hurdle is getting USB mass storage fast enough. As is with the TinyUSB library, it's not fast enough to emulate a 1x CDROM drive. AFAIK it's a software issue, not a hardware one.
Thanks to the efforts of @rppicomidi and @wbcbz7, USB mass storage is now fast enough to support emulation of a double speed CD-ROM drive. And thanks to @yyzkevin, he has reverse engineered the Panasonic drive interface. Look for CD-ROM support in a future firmware release!

This is amazing news! Will this also include redbook audio streaming support or data only?
Edit: Just read your post on vogons and it seems it will include redbook and audio mixing. This is awesome!
