Well, my Hitachi DVD-ROM does very well. I can get sustained playback 
at 500% (that's like ripping at 5 speed). Reverse playback works at up to
-400% reliably, that's enough for most 'scratching' purposes, unless the
DJs speed their records up 10x for a period of a few seconds :)

Oh, actually I never read 'backwards' from a CD, or for that matter decode
an mp3 backwards. The ringbuffer is about 300K so that's enough for about
2 seconds of music.
