Don, You only need a PC Emualtor (or emulation software) if you want to RUN the PC programs on the CD… like the search engines, etc. Hooking up a CD is pretty easy… just get a CD that suits your needs (ie: multi session capable if you plan on accessing multi-session PhotoCD discs) with a scsi interface, set the scsi id to a unique id on your scsi controller, make sure the termination is correct. There is a PD CD driver here in the AmigUser libraries called AMICD.LHA. Or you can buy drivers from Xetec (CDROMFS) or AsimWare (AsimCDFS), both of which support PC ISO-9660, MAC HS, and reportedly PhotoCD.
