Toshiba must have meant that the 3401 is CDROM-XA or PHOTOCD compatible ? The
data formats for CDROM-XA and PHOTOCD are derived from
CD-I so that causes some confusion. A CD-I player however is really a computer
that connects to a TV, with CD-I discs containing software for this "CD-I
computer", so it's not very likely that the Toshiba drive is CD-I compatible.
Apart from the FAQ files in LIB1 of this forum, there is
a good summary explaining the CD formats called DSCFMT.TXT in Lib 1 of
the Multimedia Forum which explains away some of this confusion.
