*    These drives do not directly support Photo CD.  However, by adding
     /XAEMUL to the ASPICD.SYS command line, in your CONFIG.SYS, we will
     emulate support for single-session Photo CD on these drives.

**   This drive is supported only with the Adaptec AHA-1540/1542, AHA-1640, 
     AHA-1740/1742/1744, AHA-2740/2742, AHA-2840VL/2842VL, and AIC-7770
     host adapters.

***  This drive does not support parity.  Please consult the troubleshooting 
     section of the users manual for information on using this drive.

NOTE:  The JVC XR-W1001 CD-ROM drive has temporarily been removed from
       our list of supported CD-ROM drives.
