<<What about drives? What do XA drives need, that normal CD-ROM drive do not
have? Is a multi session photo CD drive automatically a XA drive?>>
You are very welcome. (for the description of CD-ROM XA)
CD-ROM XA drives are Mode Two drives, while early CD-ROM drives were Mode One
only.
A multi-session "Photo CD" drive will very likely be a Mode Two drive. Most of
the CD-ROM drives being sold this year are Mode Two "XA Ready" drives.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
Tom
