1. Introduction
The PX-708A is a device, which you can use to read, write and rewrite CDs and DVDs. The device is an internal
type ATAPI model, which means it cannot be connected externally, but should be fitted inside your PC and
connected to your motherboard via an E-IDE cable.
Most PCs use the E-IDE (
Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics
) interface to communicate with the hard disk.
ATAPI (
AT Attachment Packet Interface
) is part of this interface and consists of a set of instructions, which enables
the PC to communicate with more recent devices such as CD-R/RW drives and DVD readers.
