PhotoCD (XA) is supported.
All CD-ROM drives should work similarly for reading data. There are
various compatibility problems with audio CD playing utilities.
(Especially with newer low-end NEC drives.) Some alpha drivers may not
have audio support yet.
Early (single speed) NEC CD-ROM drives may have trouble with currently
available SCSI controllers.
