Did you ever have a response from Compaq or HP which really helps you by this kind of problems. I only receive answers like 'unfortunately there is no support for ripping copy-protected media'.

Lucky me, on a other forum I received a link to a firmware page witch heave a firmware for the TEAC 224E-A drive
