This section describes basic information needed for using the CD-ROM
drive and CD-ROM discs.
CD-ROM Drive
The CD-ROM drive is a random access read-only mass storage device that
uses removable CD-ROM discs. The drive supports the ISO 9660 and High
Sierra format standards. You can access information from the drive like any
other disk drive, except that you cannot write to the drive. The drive contains
a semiconductor laser for reading data optically, and includes an embedded
controller with a SCSI interface.
