CD-ROM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia CD-ROM drives are rated with a speed factor relative to music CDs: 1x or 1-speed which gives a data transfer rate of 150 kilobytes per second in the most common data format. CD-ROM drives—now almost-universal on personal computers—may be connected to the computer via an IDE (ATA) interface, a SCSI interface or a proprietary interface, such as the Panasonic CD interface. Some of the initial versions of CD Drives had a mechanism different from the tray or slot loaders of modern day drives. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/CD-ROM   (1144 words)

CD-ROM Drivers I need a DOS driver for my CD-ROM drive model Xxxxxx manufactured by Yyyyyy, but the manufacturer is not listed in your page. If you have more then one CD-ROM drive, and programs want to run on the first CD-ROM, this program allows you to remap your CD-ROM drives however you like. CD recorders let you upgrade their firmware; you should upgrade it only if you are experiencing some problem and only after having carefully read the instructions provided by the manufacturer. digilander.libero.it /pnavato/drivers   (987 words)

ATAPI CD-ROM Drive Roundup - Introduction This is when a drive starts reading a CD in a CAV-fashion at the inner tracks, then when it reaches a specified speed, reverts to CLV for the remainder of the CD. Because the inner tracks of a CD are much smaller than the outer tracks, a CAV drive will have slower read rates at the inside of a CD than at the outer edge. CLV drives, however, vary the spindle motor's RPM according to where on the CD the information is being read. www.storagereview.com /articles/200005/20000530CDRomRU_1.html   (544 words)

CD-ROM Drive Troubleshooting If there is already another device such as a hard drive connected, then that device would already be configured as the Master and you will need to set the CD-ROM drive as the Slave. To share a drive over a network in Windows for workgroups (WFWG) you must add the switch (option) /s after the device file entry "MSCDEX" in the autoexec.bat file. IDE drives are automatically detected by windows 95 so you will not have to do anything other than to physically install the drive and then turn on the computer. www.techadvice.com /tech/C/CDROM_TS.htm   (2197 words)

CD-ROM drive - Glossary - CNET.com Since the audio CD standard calls for data transfer of 150 kilobytes per second (KB/sec), all CD-ROM drives can handle this speed, and most can manage 2X (double-speed, or 300 KB/sec) or 4X (quad-speed, or 600 KB/sec) rates. There are also 6X (900 KB/sec) and even 8X (1,200 KB/sec) drives, but since most CD-ROM titles are squarely aimed at transferring data within the 2X/4X bandwidth, you'll usually not see much advantage to drives with higher transfer rates than with a 4X drive. A computer peripheral that plays back CD-ROMs and--with the right software--audio CDs. www.cnet.com /Resources/Info/Glossary/Terms/cdromdrive.html   (129 words)

cd rom drive won't open I even put in a brand new cd rom box, but the same thing is happening with it....light on, won't open. I looked in the device manager cd rom properties and it says that the device is working. If by "open" you mean you can get a CD in the drive but the drive won't, or can't, read it, try several known good purchased CDs (not burned ones). www.softwaretipsandtricks.com /forum/showthread.php?p=74349   (571 words)

CD-ROM Drive Connection Procedure On some drives it can be hard to figure out which end of the header is pin 1, however most CD-ROMs have pins 1 and 40 marked somewhere on the drive, more prominently than hard disk drives are marked. Due to several manufacturers having different standards for their drives, most sound cards now have more than one jack for the CD audio cable, and they may not be all different physically, so they can be confused for one another. For example, if there was already a device on the channel when you attached this drive, make sure you have not pulled the cable loose by mistake (which is common, because the connectors don't fit very tightly on many systems). www.pcguide.com /proc/config/cd-c.html   (826 words)

CD-ROM Drive DVD-ROM drives can store up to 4 GB of data or about 6 times the size of a regular CD (not sure on the exact size, but suffice to say it's a very large storage medium). However, when you consider CD-ROM drives are generally used just to install a program or copy CDs, both of which are usually done rarely on most users' computers, the extra speed isn't usually very important. CD-ROM drives are necessary today for most programs. www.basichardware.com /cd-rom_drive.html   (393 words)

CD-ROM Drive The drive reads from, and writes to, a CD disk using a laser that reads the digitally stored information from little micro-patterns in the disk. A CD-RW Drive is a device that allows your computer to play and run CD-ROMs, record onto CDR disks, and record/erase and re-record onto CDRW disks.

How to Install a CD-ROM Drive I usually jumper a CD-ROM drive as master and connect it to the Secondary IDE interface on the motherboard. Your motherboard/CD-ROM drive may have come with a UDMA 33 driver for Windows 95 which will work with the drive. For this article we are going to use the AOpen 948E 48X, UDMA 33 CD-ROM drive as our primary example to establish a context for these instructions. www.duxcw.com /digest/Howto/cdrom   (598 words)

How to Clean an Internal CD ROM Drive Most of the CD ROM drives I've looked at have a similar layout, so cleaning the drive should be the same across both platforms. Once that's done, flip up the CD ROM drive so that the platter is facing upwards and the underside of the drive is facing you. I've recall my first CD ROM drive and how much trouble it gave me. It was in my Performa 6360 which is now junked yet I'm still making payments on it. www.fortunecity.com /skyscraper/black/574/cdrom.html   (889 words)

Power Mac 6100 CD-ROM Drive Upgrades When my original Apple 300i 2x drive died, I replaced it with the same model because I had read that there were issues around booting from a non-Apple CD drive. The audio ribbon cables run from a little 4-pin connector on the CD drive to a matching 4-pin connector on the motherboard that is labeled "J10." Boot the computer with the new drive before you close it up, just to make sure that it works. The most recent version of Apple's driver should work with most SCSI CD-ROM drives, though. www.kan.org /6100/cd.html   (2506 words)

Toshiba XM6202B CD-ROM drive As with other CD-ROM drives of this speed category we can see that reading speeds are getting faster when the outer tracks of the CD are read and the results are showing about 16X for the inner tracks and about 32X for the outer tracks for a CPU utilisation that never goes over 10%. As it is the case in most of the time with CD-ROM drives, this one has been installed without any problems under Win95 as well as under DOS 6.22 so I have no other specific comments on this point. Once again, this drive, as well as most of any other CD-ROM drives, has no user manuals and comes without any software bundled other than the DOS installation floppy disk. www.active-hardware.com /english/reviews/cdrom/6202b.htm   (899 words)

Howstuffworks "How Removable Storage Works" For example, electronic optics check for the presence of an opening in the lower corner of a 3.5-inch diskette (or a notch in the side of a 5.25-inch diskette) to see if the user wants to prevent data from being written to it. Tape is still used for some long-term storage, such as backing up a server's hard drive, in which quick access to the data is not essential. Some removable devices actually have a platter of magnetic disks, similar to the set-up in a hard drive. computer.howstuffworks.com /removable-storage3.htm   (398 words)

Computer CD-ROM drive help and technical information. Usually, the IDE controller on the hard drive is set as master and the CD-ROM drive is set to slave. A CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory) is a drive which reads aluminum-coated round plastic discs however does not write to the discs invented in the United States on 1972. Later as Phillips and Sony continued cooperation in the 1980s additional specifications were announced concerning the use of CD technology for computer data which evolved into computer CD-ROM drives used today. www.computerhope.com /help/cdrom.htm   (884 words)

SCSI CD-ROM Drive Roundup - Introduction It can be concluded that ATAPI CD-ROM drives sacrifice a degree of flexibility and potentially some performance (in maxed-out configurations) for a much lower cost. Nearly all SCSI CD-ROM drives use a standard 50-pin connection. As you may have noticed in the first paragraph, the average cost of the four tested SCSI drives is nearly twice that of the ATAPI drives tested, with lower average speed ratings. www.storagereview.com /welcome.pl/articles/200006/20000602CDRomRU2_1.html   (519 words)

cd-rom drive You might also try buying one of those CDROM drive cleaners to see if cleaning helps, but I'd only do this if your CD's are dirty, your computer is in a dusty environment, and/or if your CD drive has been used heavily. I thought maybe it was dirty so I blew into the cd-rom drive and cleaned the cd. I've tried using one of those cd-rom drive cleaners from radio shack and did not notice any difference. www.duxcw.com /dcforum/DCForumID6/145.html   (664 words)

Compact disc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A standard compact disc, often known as an audio CD to differentiate it from later variants, stores audio data in a format compliant with the red book standard. Compact disc technology was later adapted for use as a data storage device, known as a CD-ROM. A user-recordable CD for data storage, CD-R, was introduced in the early 1990s, and it became the de facto standard for exchange and archiving of computer data and music. www.pineville.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Audio_CD   (3323 words)
