"Distributed by Apple Computer for Eastman Kodak Company - Photographic Quality Images"
The title says it. It was 1992 and we had a MacII or maybe a Quadra and this CD offered to take a glimpse on what would be possible in years to come. I recall I never could manage to open the hi-res files on my MacII. 
The CD is a emulated one on the Mac. I think its a PCD ISO and Apple made a HFS wrapper to access the files with a stock Macintosh. Photoshop could of course handle the PCD files.
I copied the files accessible with HFS and added PictView and JPEGView for opening the images.
Viewing is best done in 7.5 or 7.6 as the apps rely on Quicktime - later QTs may work or not.
Added the bin/cue as second upload, got a slightly better upstream since a few days.

Yes, I do prefer original copies too.
The bin/cue will be useless unless burned back and inserted in a Mac from that time with a CD drive.
(This was for the casual reader, I know that you know...)
One can´t do anything but viewing the pictures too, but I´ll try when September comes...
The CD must have been a give away with my then brand new Apple CD300.
I got a PVC booklet with a couple of CDs (cant remember which ones exactly) with a quite high priced CD-ROM. The Sony caddy drive served well for many many years and still does I presume.
The "Parrots" from the PCD have found their way into JPEGView on their own as a sample, en vogue those days, presumably.
I don't "want it badly". But I also prefer to see copies of the original media archived if possible. So if you feel up to uploading the bin/cue copy too, 24bit, please do so. No hurry for it on my behalf tho'.
