These cartridges have a capacity similar to a CD-ROM but with the
difference of being re-writable. They have a shelf life of 30 years or
more, unlike magnetic material which decays over a relatively short
period of time. Like floppy disks they have a write protect switch.
The drive control software provides two icons, each with its own
drive letter. These will be found in Windows Explorer, or the drives
section in the control panel. One is for use with data cartridges, the
other is for CD-ROM and is easily identified as such with a CD
symbol. Emergency removal of the media under conditions such as
a power failure is similar in method to that of the conventional CD-
ROM drive as detailed earlier.
