- I just received confirmation from my NeXT dealer that the
- NeXT CD-ROM player WILL play Photo-CD ROMs, however it plays
- _only_ single session ones, not multi session. The difference?
-
- The first time you have photos put on the disk = single session.
- Subsequent addition of photographs = multi session.
-
- The fix? Save your negs until you have enough to fill a CD.
- Since only 100 pictures (approx) fit on a CD that shouldn't
- take too long. (Well, I'm a hobby foto nut - your mileage
- may vary). For you medium format freaks (me too!) there should
- be duplicators which will take negs and chromes up to 5"x7"
- and put them on CD, although I doubt you will get 100 on a disk.
- These are expected to be ready in the spring/summer of next year.
-
- I have talked to Apple, bu haven't verified if their drive will
- work. As soon as I get my cube up again I'll see if I cant
- borrow a drive to test...!
-
- Regarding software - I just received in the mail a PhotoCD reader
- App, but until my machine is up (about a week, I hope) I won't
- be able to test it. Sorry :-(
