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 de-
vice 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.
