I need advice from all who may know some answers to the following questions. I have a SONY CDU-7205 and I want to use Kodak Access software to read Photo-CDs. My controller card is a CDB-242 and isn't 'XA' compatible so I can't at this point look at photo-cds using Access. I have tried talking to SONY about the problem, but they are basically worthless when wanting to get a timely answer. My questions are – 1) Is a CDB-X10 controller card replacement/upgrade available? How much? From whom? 2) How many Sony Laser Library (CDU-7205) kits came with a CDU-X10 board? Kodak lists it as an approved photo-cd platform, but I don't get the impression such an animal exists. 3) I believe other options exist to get MPC and XA compatability. Such as – Media Vision, Pro Audio+ board for $239 TRANTOR software driver and board patch for $39 Mathematica TEMPRA Access software for $149 [which may be incompatible too] Others??? How good are these in comparison, and what are the pluses and minuses? Thanks in advance for the answers!!! Doug
