- Hi-
- Maybe you know better, but I have a technical specification sheet that says:
- "Formats supported
- * Multi-session Kodak Photo CD
- * ISO 9660/High Sierra
- * Macintosh HFS
- * CD-ROM XA
- * CD+G
- * CD+MIDI
- * Standard audio CDs
- * CD digital audio data via SCSI bus"
-
- So, in particular, do you know what they mean with that last line? Are these
- normal audio CDs or some special format?
-
- I just ordered one of these beasts and was hoping to use it for reading out
- sound tracks.
-
- confused,
- -Avery
