Sony Mavica CD200, 250 or 400 on linux

Do any of you have experience with the Sony Mavicas that store images on
CD? I was ready to buy one, figuring that the CD image storage would get
me past any software issues, and would spare me having to configure a
card reader, etc, but I noticed a post on another newsgroups indicating
that there is a problem with the Mac OSX reading the Mavica CDs. I want
to be sure that I can read them with Linux before I jump and purchase
one of these cameras.

I appreciate any feedback you can give me.

Thanks!
