DVD-ROM drive

The full-size, maximum six-speed DVD-ROM drive module lets you run

either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") DVDs or CDs without using an

adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for DVD-ROM operation.

When the computer is accessing a DVD-ROM, an LED next to the eject

button glows.

The read speed is slower at the centre of a disk and faster at the outer

edge. The minimum (centre) and maximum (outer edge) for DVDs and

CDs are:

DVD

1.7-speed (centre) 6-speed (outer edge)

CD

10.3-speed (centre) 24-speed (outer edge)
