#Photo CD, daisy chain

I wonder if anyone out there has the solutions for my two problems: 1) I have two Mitsumo CD-ROM drives. The first was bought last year and the interface card did not allow XA extensions (it couldn't access Kodak Photo CDs). I bought a second one recently and the 16 bit card which comes with it does allow XA. Now is the problem: how (if at all) can run both drives from one card? I tried simply daisy chaining them, but that didn't work. Is there a solution? 2) Much mor important: where can I get softawre to SEE the images in PCD format on the Photo CDs? I live in France and Kodak told me the SW will not be available until Sept. This is very frustrating, since I already have a lot of my slides on Photo CDs that I cannot visualise on my PC. Does anyone sell the SW (Kodak or anyone else) in USA? Thanks for any help

Bahman, >> where can I get softawre to SEE the images in PCD format on the Photo CDs? You can try calling Kodak in Rochester, New York, at 716-724-4000. Ask for the Kodak Customer Assistance Center and explain that you want to place an order for overseas delivery of Photo CD Access software. The US price is $39.95. You will need a credit card. Regards … Paul

Strange, Escom in Germany are selling the Kodak Photo CD Access disc for DM89. That having been said, the software is English and your source might have been talking about a French version? Escom's price relate fairly well to the US List (after postage, TVA, etc.) I believe that ESCOM have opened up outlets in France, but that might be marketing hype. Otherwise the do Mail order +49-6252-7902-0 (Fax +49-6252-7902-22). No, I don't work for them but they sold me my copy to use with my Mitsumi LUO05S. Andyc &:%)

Thanks for the info. This interests me since Kodak France says the software will not be available until Sept. The language is of no importance to me! Bahman

Bahman, You should be able to purchase our Photo CD Access software in Europe. You might try checking with our London office for specific dealer information 44-081-427-4380. There are also a number of Photo CD enabled software packages. For instance Micrographics Picture Publisher, Photostyler, Corel Draw, Photo Magic, Image In Color and Photo Factory. Joel White [Kodak]
