PC drives also can't handle DirectCD, just like MSX. However, the developers
of DirectCD think they are smart, so they have added a little auto-executing
driver to the CD which CAN be read normally, and which enables DirectCD
support.
But this only works on IBM-compatible computers with Windows 9x... With
another operating system (Linux), or on other computers (Mac, MSX), it will
not work without specifically written drivers.
By the way, if you copy a CD for someone else, I hope you don't use DirectCD
for that, do you??? If you do, you shouldn't... It's very nasty. Use the
burning-software for that, preferrably in DAO mode. Same goes for CDs which
you want to use with your MSX (which, as stated above, doesn't have drivers
for DirectCD).
