  A simple straightforward query addressed to some knowledgeable
person at Kodak:

  Would posting of data written onto a Photo-CD to a public access
site, assuming the poster was the owner of the image in question,
constitute any patent violation re: Kodak or anyone else?

  This is not intended as a loaded question. I ask it for the sake

  Personally, if have more than a couple of hundred equiv. $U.S. to spend,
I'd wait for a month or two before buying a drive. There appears to be
a new, competitive generation of CD-ROM players coming out from all
major manufacturers, which are much faster, more reliable, most dust-resistant,
multi-session, CD-I, Photo-CD, etc. compatible.

  The NEC CDR-35, 36, and (I believe) 37 do not use caddies. They are rather small, 
portable drives, which can be powered from a battery pack or AC adaptor. They look
rather like a largish portable CD player; they have a flip up lid, and you place the 
CD in the unit and close the lid. I love the fact that it does not use caddies. I 
refuse to buy a caddy for every CD I own. Caddyless audio CD drives work just fine for 
me, and I prefer my CD-ROM to work the same way.

  The CDR-35 had controls on the top to let you use it as a standalone CD-player. 
However it was a reasonably aweful CD-ROM drive, and a reasonable aweful CD player, 
and was replaced by the 36. The 36 does not have full audio controls (just a volume 
wheel), but it is a better CD-ROM drive. The 37 is better stronger and faster than
the 36. 

  They are definately not the fastest drives available:
access times: 	CDR-35	1500 msec (not a typo. 1.5 sec)
		CDR-36	500 msec
		CDR-37	450 msec

  But they do work reasonably well. I've owned a CDR-36 for over a year. The driver
initially had problems with the SpaceShip Warlock CD, but I have heard that the most 
recent driver works with it (I traded the CD to someone else, so I cannot verify 
this). BTW I use the drive with a Mac IIcx. 

  Supposedly the drive can handle single session Photo-CDs, but I have not tried 
it. The NEC firmware apparantly has problems with blocksizes, such that they don't 
work well with A/UX. 

  Bottom line: it works well hooked to a mac running the MacOS for occasional 
personal use. If you want to use it with A/UX, or if you're going to use it a lot, 
buy a faster (and more expensive) drive.

  I believe the model 37 is currently selling, and the 35 and 36 have been
discontinued. I also saw another model at CompUSA which looked a lot like the model 36,
called the model 20 I believe. I have no information about this one.

CORNELL, USC TO DEMO PHOTO CD TECHNOLOGY
FOR ACCESS TO IMAGE COLLECTIONS


BALTIMORE, Oct. 28 - Researchers will gain on-screen access to 
thousands of historical photographs, paintings and other images in 
a demonstration of Eastman Kodak CompanyUs Photo CD 
technology at two major universities.
The Kodak Library Image Consortium demonstration
will include Cornell University, which initially will scan onto
CD discs photographs of a collection of color paintings, drawings,
and manuscripts from noted ornithologist Louis Agassiz Fuertes:
and the University of Southern California, which will scan
thousands of historical black-and-white photographs from the USC
Library's Regional History Collection that document the history
and development of Southern California and the Southwest during
the past 130 years.
Photo CD images from both collections are on display here at 

EDUCOM '92 in the Kodak booth.
Along with Kodak and the two universities, the project is
sponsored by the Commission on Preservation and Access, a non-
profit organization that coordinates efforts to make
records accessible to future generations.
"This project brings together some of the nation's leading 
experts in library science, information technology, and a range of 
academic disciplines," said Kodak's Donald E. Olson, director of
new markets development for higher education. "We are delighted 
that these experts are working with Kodak to demonstrate the
potential of Photo CD technology for  expanding access to the
unique collections of different institutions."

***** End           

In the U.S., more information can be obtained by calling the Kodak
Information Center at 800-242-2424, ext. 77.  Outside the U.S., call
your local Kodak company, or Kodak in Rochester, New York, at 
716-724-1025.

It will be a week or two before we can get any quantity of news into
anonymous ftp sites, but we are working on it.

The C Users' Group Library is now available on CD-ROM.  This is a collection
of user supported C source code from the C Users' Group.  Most of the code
is for MSDOS, but there are several volumes for Unix and other systems.
Some of the earlier volumes contain a lot of CP/M source code.  Volumes 100
to 364 are included on the disc.  There is source code for editors,
disassemblers, compilers, interpreters, communications, bbs's, games,
tutorials, math libraries, etc.  There are also all the source code listings
from the "C Users' Journal".  Part of the proceeds from this disc go to the
C Users' Group.  The price is $49.95.

The index files and readme.txt file for this disc are available via
anonymous ftp from cdrom.com(192.153.46.254):/pub/cdroms/cug, so you
can look at them before you decide if you want to buy it.

Shipping and handling is $5 (per order, not per disc) for US/Canada,

What I've been told at workshops i've attended is that as long as your normal
business practice is to scan documents and discard the paper copy, then what you
 have is the best available copy of a document.
If you scan some and not others, you may have a problem.  If you scan all,
but keep the originals in a file somewhere, the paper copies are the best
available copies and those are what must be submitted.

I had posted a while back that I wrote some benchmarks which are on
"The Wizard" CD-ROM from Aris.  Aris released the Wizard this week,
but the initial release does not have the benchmarks I described in my
posting on it.  It does test data throughput, but not seek time or
throughput under MPC constraints.  It also does not have the CPU and
video benchmarks that the next release will have.  The next release
will be available in December, with all the new video and sound
drivers that appear at Comdex.  I did not want anyone to purchase the
product under false assumptions.

Hi,

I can't play Audio CD's with my Toshiba-drive.
Especialy the mediaplayer of windows can't do it. I loaded the mci audio-cd
driver.
I've heard that there exists some problems with older versions of mscdex.
Does anybody knows about problems with Audio CD's and the Toshiba drive?

Please help!!
