- Umm, AmigaOS modifications and additions?
-
- What planet is this coming from?
-
- 1) If my understanding of Kodak's wish to keep their format
- proprietary and quiet is correct, then Kokak wishes to be the only
- people who write drivers.
-
- 2) No modifications or additions would be necessary under 3.0. At
- most, perhaps, would be a datatype so that MultiView could support it
- transparently.
-
- 3) Having multisession CD-ROM hardware is not a reason. Period. It
- may influence CDTV's posession of it, but multisession discs are
- available for the Amiga now, in the form of a SCSI-device. This
- invalidates the "multisession" argument. Very few people assume that
- a solution must come from C= for everything, and Kodak would see this
- as merely "a facet" of that.
