RE: Spin! -- a CD-ROM XFS
That is easy to answer.
Spin! *does* read multisession disks. In order to do that, he has to rely on
a Metaioctl (CDROMREADOFFSET), which has to be implemented in the BOS driver.
If you get a decent, current BOS driver (like my commercial one shipped
with CD-Tool, see http://www.overscan.com/jfr/soft_e.html), Spin! will
display the last session.

I just obtained this driver, and it appears to work very well on my TT030.
I have a question about the CD-ROM drivers in general, however, which I am
having great difficulty in finding an answer to. Seeing as you wrote a
driver, maybe you are able to help me.
None of the drivers that I have tried (Your Spin driver, MetaDOS, Extendos,
MiNT CDROM.XFS) seem able to read multisession discs. They all show the
first session, but I have been unable to read subsequent sessions. It
seems that the extra sessions have been written correctly since they are
readable on a PC using MSCDEX.
So maybe you can explain what the situation is over multisession. How can I
read multisession discs under TOS?
Any suggestions or explanations would be much appreciated.
Thankyou.
