Where would I get data on the graphics format, etc? Sounds like a fun project even if I must get another drive. to read it.

The current version of the CD+G spec., as well as the CD+MIDI spec., was published by Philips in a System Description titled "Compact Disc Digital Audio System, Subcode/Control and Display System, Channels R-W" dated May 1991. In a letter accompanying this book, Philips said it intended to submit this document as an ammendment to the IEC 908 specification. IEC 908 was the final, international standard version of the orginal Philips CD-DA specification (the Red Book). I don't know whether CD+G was ever actually incorporated into IEC 908. Getting specifications from Philips is ususally expensive. You can get a copy of IEC 908 from ANSI by calling 212-642-4900. It goes for $85 bucks. Again, I don't know whether it includes CD+G.
