I have yet to see the add for the Xitec CD-ROM player that everyone is
talking about because I can't find a copy of AmigaWorld anywhere.  I was
wondering if someone could tell me what software they have for retrieval
off of the CD-ROM.  It seems to me that most MSDOS CD-ROMS come with
specialized retrieval software to access the information contained on the
disk.  Presumably, the Amiga could read these disks with this CD-ROM drive,
but wouldn't be able to run the access programs w/o some kind of transformer
or bridgeboard arrangement.  Any ideas?

             Thanks, Keith Amidon
