Yes and no.  Kodak PCD uses a Session 2 level 2 encoding, which allows you to  
write to the disk, play with it for a while, then write some more.  The NeXT  
CD-ROM will only understand the first session on any given disk, so if you  
put 30 frames on a disk, then add another 40, you'll never be able to get at  
the last 40 frames.  (with current hardware/firmware)

Does it work?  Sure does.  I just looked at 80 images on a PCD earlier today.   
Unfortunately, I don't know of any software that will allow me to look at the  
images on the NeXT.....  sigh.
