CD-ROM Drive and CD-ROM Media Descriptions
NOTE: The Volume Control, Headset Jack, and Audio Jack features of the CD-ROM
drive are supported through applications only.
CD-ROM Media
CD-ROM discs are 120 mm (4.7 in.) in diameter, and use one data surface
with a capacity of approximately 600 megabytes. The data surface contains
pits and flat spots arranged in a continuous spiral track, which is read at a
constant speed. You may access files and data stored on a CD-ROM disc,
but you may not write files or data to a CD-ROM disc.
CD-ROM data discs are identical to audio compact discs (CDs) except that
they store computer data and information.
