No… I haven't seen a final version for CL's PhotoCD driver. I got it off their tech support BBS on 12/14. I've used the driver with their model 521-C Panasonic CDROM player without any problems. However, my one PhotoCD disc is a Kodak "PhotoCD Access Program and Photo Sampler" which is a single-session disc. So I don't know if the driver works with multisession CDs. Joel White of Kodak says the player will require a hardware mod to become multi-session capable. He explained to me that with a multi-session CD, the player must be smart enough to scan the entire CD to find the latest version of the (for lack of better terms) File Allocation Table. Since FATs can't be overwritten on a CD, multi-session discs will have an updated one written with each session. Frankly, being a EE, this just doesn't sound like something that requires a hardware mod to support. Anyway… it works great with single-session. Let me know if you find out any more about it. Thanks.
