KODAK Photo CD System CD ROM Drive Compatibility Guidelines

The introduction of the KODAK Photo CD system has been 
enthusiastically greeted by computer users who are eager to use 
high-quality photographic images on their desktop.  However, the 
Photo CD system represents the first widely adopted use of 
multisession CD ROM technology.  And because it is so new, there has 
been some confusion about the CD ROM drives, related components, 
and software required to incorporate Photo CD technology into the 
desktop environment.  This guide is intended to help clear up some 
of the confusion.  

Eastman Kodak Company has tested all of the drives, related 
components, and device driver software listed in this guide for 
compatibility with the KODAK Photo CD format.  Each one of the 
drives herein has at least limited compatibility with the Photo CD 
format when they are used with the appropriate components and 
software and when they are part of one of the configurations 
described below.  There is, however, no guarantee that the drives 
listed will work properly with the customer's computer 
configuration.  The correct operation of the CD ROM drives and 
controllers with the customer's computer will depend on the correct 
version of device driver software and compatible computer 
peripheral hardware.  Substituting different drives, components, and 
software may cause incompatibility.  Customers should contact the CD 
ROM drive vendor with technical assistance questions.

The following system configurations were used to test the drives:

1.	*Compaq 486/33M (EISA bus) PC *16 MB RAM *340 MB hard 
	disk drive *MS DOS 5.0, WINDOWS 3.0 & 3.1 *Monochrome 
	graphics display adaptor *20" color monitor and 12" 
	monochrome monitor *SMC Ethernet card *Compaq VGA 
	display card *Matrox Impression S/AT high-resolution display 
	adaptor (24-bit)

2.	*Dell 486D/50 (EISA bus) PC *16 MB RAM *212 MB hard disk 
	drive *MS DOS 5.0, WINDOWS 3.1 *17" color monitor *Dell VGA 
	adaptor (on mother board)	*Number 9 GXI TC 24-bit graphics 
	board

3.	*IBM PS/2 Model 57 *4 MB RAM *160 MB hard disk drive
	*PC DOS 5.0, WINDOWS 3.1 *14" color monitor *IBM XGA video 
	adaptor

4.	*MACINTOSH Quadra 700 *20 MB RAM *SuperMac 24 PDQ 
	Plus display adaptor (24-bit)  *19" color monitor *160 MB 
	hard disk drive


************************************************************************
Reading Photo CD Images
In order to access Photo CD images on a computer, users need the 
following compatible components:

*	a CD ROM drive capable of reading Mode 2 Form 1 data (Photo 
	CD image data is recorded in a CD ROM format known as Mode 
	2 Form 1.)
*	a CD ROM controller (also known as a host adaptor or controller 
	board)
*	a cable to connect the drive to the controller
*	device driver software (low-level device driver and foreign file 
	system driver) capable of reading Mode 2 Form 1 data

Together, these four components form a Photo CD-compatible CD ROM 
drive subsystem.  Each component of the subsystem must be capable 
of supporting the Photo CD format.  It is essential that customers 
contact the drive manufacturers (see page 10) for specific 
information on the Photo CD compatibility of their CD ROM drive 
subsystem before purchasing those items.  Customers can also call 
the Kodak Information Center (1-800-242-2424, ext. 53) for current 
drive compatibility information.  

In addition to the hardware and driver software listed above, 
customers also need application software capable of accessing Photo 
CD images.  Kodak offers a family of Photo CD-enabled software 
packages that can access, store, import, and enhance Photo CD images 
and high-quality digital images in other popular file formats.  
Customers can call 1-800-242-2424, ext. 53 for more information on 
the KODAK Photo CD software offerings.  

Single Session Drives
There are Photo CD-compatible CD ROM drive subsystems available 
today which can access images written to a compact disc during a 
single recording session.  These drives are known as single session 
drives.  The single session CD ROM drive subsystems offer limited 
capability in reading Photo CD discs.  Specifically, the single session 
CD ROM drive subsystems will read Photo CD images recorded onto a 
Photo CD disc in ONE session.  These drives will not recognize data 
appended (i.e., added) to a disc after the initial recording session, 
however.  A single session drive is suitable for anyone who wants to 
begin working with Photo CD images immediately and is able to limit 
data recording to one session per disc. 

Multisession Drives
The Photo CD system offers the considerable advantage of allowing 
images to be appended to a disc in multiple recording sessions.  Users 
who want to take advantage of that capability will need multisession 
drives to read the data appended to discs in subsequent recording 
sessions.  The drives listed in the multisession area have been 
determined to be fully capable of playing multisession Photo CD 
discs.  Look for the Photo CD logo (displayed below) on drives that 
have passed Kodak's testing and are licensed in our Photo CD 
branding program.  Call 1-800-242-2424, ext. 53 to learn more about 
the branding program for multisession drives.
