#Photo CD Access

When I spoke to Corel they didn't mention any need to remove the /XA switch
in order to read normal disks. I will have to check that out. Steve
If you have our CorelSCSI ASPI drivers you can use your NEC 84 drive to read
single session PhotoCD's. If your are using our ASPI drivers you will have a
CUNI_ASP.SYS line in your config.sys file. If you add /XA to the end of this
line you will be able to read PhotoCD's on your NEC drive. When an NEC drive is
put in PhotoCD mode it cannot read regular CD's, so you will need to remove the
/XA switch from your driver line to read your non-PhotoCd disc's. There is a
file called PHOTO.TXT in our CorelSCSI Library, here on Compuserve, that gives
an example of how the /XA switch is added to your config.sys file. Note that
the NEC 84 does not appear on the list of PhotoCD compatible CD-ROM drives, but
NEC has assured us it will work.

Steve, this is Corel's actual response to a user who has the internal version
of your drive who was inquiring about Photo CD usage that I copied from the
Corel SCSI forum.
There must be some mistake. I have a Toshiba 3301b, not a NEC drive. I
wonder if the same is true of the Toshiba? Steve
