General Description
1.1.1 Performance
(1)
The ATAPI controller can be directly connected to the system EIDE bus. The controller meets the specifications of the standard 25.4 mm height 90 mm
(2) 2.3 GB capacity
The optical disk drive conforms to the 2.3 GB GIGAMO standard. It also supports read and write accesses to 128 MB, 230 MB, 540 MB, 640 MB, and 1.3 GB disks.
(3)
The optical disk drive supports a disk media rotational speed of 3,637 rpm when using 2.3 GB disks. The device supports a rotational speed of 5,455 rpm (ZCAV) when using a 128 MB, 230 MB, 540 MB, or 640 MB disks. When using 1.3 GB disks, the optical disk drive supports ZCAV mode with a rotational speed of 3,637 rpm, and ZCLV mode that controls the speed at three levels: 3,637/4, 138/4,801 rpm, in accordance with the position of the optical head.
In ZCLV mode, the optical disk drive speeds up by detecting continuous accessing of inner disk tracks to prevent a reduction of inner disk rotation.
For random accesses, the optical disk drive switches to ZCAV mode that is fixed to 3,637 rpm to prevent access performance degradation.
