I haven't heard about a version for the SUN, but Kodak has already created
a version for the Atari Falcon030 computer. :^)

You will need a CD-ROM that is MPC compatible. But you should be careful
before buying your drive. Most CD-ROMs that support PHOTO-CD are capable
of supporting only single session PHOTO-CD format. The newer multi-session
PHOTO-CD format CD-ROMs are more expensive and relatively scarce. I think
that SONY is the only company with a multi-session capable drive. Chinon
will supposedly have theirs out by the middle of next year.

There is a version for the Sun, as we recently received a Beta test copy of
it. It installed fine (need a 3.5" hard floppy), and works OK, but all you
get is the Sun object files, and the source for a driver program for it,
as well as a 'sample CD'.
