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.
