rewritable optical An optical
disk technology in which data
can be repeatedly written using
magneto-optical reading and
writing technology.
SCSI An acronym for the Small
Computer Systems Interface.
single-ended SCSI Signals
are asserted on the bus by
using a 5-volt signal referenced
to ground. This method makes
the bus somewhat susceptible
to noise and loss of signal
quality over distance.
storage slot An area of the
autochanger that holds
cartridges when the cartridges
are not in a drive or not being
ejected through the mailslot.
terminator A resistor array
device used for electrically
terminating a SCSI bus. A
SCSI bus must be terminated
at its two physical ends. A
peripheral device uses a
terminator only if it is at the
end of the bus.
W
write protect A feature that
prevents data from being
written to a disk. A write
protect tab is located on both
sides of the optical disk
cartridge to enable
write-protection on one or both
surfaces of the disk.
write-once An additional
operating mode available with
multifunction drives. When a
write-once disk is inserted, the
drive will write data, but will
not write over data that has
been previously written. This
feature is useful for
applications that need
permanent data security and
audit trails.
