Starting "Position" of a CD Rom Disk
Hi,
I have been told that a data cd (also audio cd) is first "read" from the middle track. Another person told me that it is first "read" from the inside track. I always thought it was first read from the outside (near the edge) track. Can someone, who really knows, tell me where the first "reading" (when you insert a CD) takes place? Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active key logger (spyware) in your PC. |

Am I correct in thinking that up until around about 32-speed drives, they would vary the spinning speed to maintain a precise transfer rate? |
