Markus,

The reason (or one reason anyway, there may be more) for having an extra
driver is to use the PD drive for reading CD Roms and playing audio CDs.
The Eesox driver I have is a CDFS driver for the Panasonic drive (infact
it's a generic CDFS driver for devices that, I think, use the SCSI II
protocols, though don't quote me on that!).
Before I received the driver I could only use the PD drive to read/write
PD discs.
