Hello,

the original question was:

> Hello Sunner's,
>
> I have a problem related to reading Kodak CD's with a Sun.
>
> So here I go for none XIL Library users:
>
> Is there any possibility to mount a Kodak Photo CD on a Sun ?
> My OS is Solaris 2.4 with the XIL Library 1.2, which tells me, that
> I'm able to read Kodak CD's. The volmgt doesn't know the format of the
> CD, so the volmgt creates
> /vol/dev/aliases, /vol/dev/dsk and /vol/dev/rdsk.
> A cat < /vol/dev/dsk/c0t6/unnamed_cdrom show really some parts of the CD.
> But I need the real structure of the CD which is something like
> .../PHOTO_CD/IMAGES/IMG0001.PCD and so on.
> Any clue ?
>
> For XIL users:
> In the XIL 1.2 Programmer Guide on side 79 is the routine shown which set
> the FILEPATH attribute. The Note tells me:
> The last part of the path to image usally has the form
> .../PHOTO_CD/IMAGES/IMGnnnn.PCD. What I really need now is, what is
> "..." or what have I to do to get this image stuff from the Kodak CD.
>
> TIA and naturally I will summarize, Dirk.

My fault was as stupid and easy as ever. I used a Toshiba 3401 something
CD Player. This player doesn/t support Kodak Photo CD's. Using a
DEC RRD42 everythings went fine.

CU, Dirk.
