Knowing Your CD-ROM Drive
Your CD-ROM drive is just like a CD player. It allows you to play
audio CDs, skip and stop a track, and eject the CD using software
application (see Chapter 3, “Using QuickCD”).
Furthermore, your drive supports the following features:
❑Quad Speed Transfer
Your drive can supply a continuous stream of information at
600 KB per second to the PC’s bus. This higher transfer rate
produces better performance when viewing Video for
Windows or QuickTime movies and multimedia applications.
❑CD-ROM Standards
Your drive meets the MPC level 2 requirements for CD-ROM.
It also enables you to read CD-ROM/XA (Extended
Architecture) — a specification that allows you to interleave
data, audio, and video sectors on a CD.
❑Motorized Tray Loading System
Your drive comes with a motorized tray loading system which
allows you to load your CDs like a CD player.
❑Multiple Drives Support
You can connect more than one CD-ROM drive to your PC.
For more information on connecting additional drives, refer to
the section “Connecting Additional Drives” in Chapter 4.
The rest of this chapter describes the components of your drive’s front
and rear panels.
