The CDU31A is a single speed drive, and the CDU33A is double speed. As an owner of the CDU33A, I certainly can recommend it to you. As for Kodak's Photo CD; the program on that disc works fine with the CDU33A. If you don't have the disc itself, most CD-ROM packages (which typically include the drive, board, drivers, speakers, sound card (sometimes) and software), will usually have Photo CD as part of the package. -- Joe Admire (jadmire@netcom.com) (admirej@vaxa.cna.org) (josepha150@aol.com) Kibo number 1/mandatory "beable" mention/ECU 1985 (Go Pirates!) *Stevie Nicks is _still_ the queen of rock and roll.* (Insert your favorite opinion disclaimer here.)
