I have a MagicCopy 52x32x52 cd duplicator. I used to have a similar
model but which had a way to connect it to a pc. Is there anyway to
connect the model I have to a pc?

Probably. You have to determine the actual manufacturer of the duplicator
controller board inside, and see if an IDE-to-USB daughter board is
available. They usually run about $40 US.

Popular controller boards carry brand names like Acard, Athena, Apollo,
etc. You can often figure it out by comparing the appearance of the front
panel (type, layout, position, configuration of the LCD display and
control buttons) and comparing it with known models at the manufacturers'
websites (or those of dealers that make reference to the actual board
manufacturer rather than names like "MagicCopy").
