Now this is interesting. I just got a multi-session CD (Todd
Rundgren) from someone. This is something the booklet with
the CD calls "Enhanced Audio CD". I can't get to the non-audio
portion. OS/2 simply sees it as an audio CD. Although I must say
OS/2 handles it better then DOS/Windows. DOS would just lock
up (to a reset button) anytime I tried to read it.

I also have a 4Plex (SCSI-2). Alas I don't have easy access to any
newer/other CD drives.

What seems very strange is that I have another set of CD's that
do work as multi-session. This is a German teaching system that
reads files from the CD's, but they will play in an audio CD drive
just fine.

I wish I understood this stuff better. Are there too many
standards (an oxymoron if ever there was)?
