- Yes and no. Kodak PCD uses a Session 2 level 2 encoding, which allows you to
- write to the disk, play with it for a while, then write some more. The NeXT
- CD-ROM will only understand the first session on any given disk, so if you
- put 30 frames on a disk, then add another 40, you'll never be able to get at
- the last 40 frames. (with current hardware/firmware)
-
- Does it work? Sure does. I just looked at 80 images on a PCD earlier today.
- Unfortunately, I don't know of any software that will allow me to look at the
- images on the NeXT..... sigh.
