Using the CD/DVD-ROM drive
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the CD-ROM
drive. However, operation is the same for the DVD-ROM drive. The full-
size drive provides high-performance execution of CD-ROM-based
programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CDs/DVDs
without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD-ROM
operation. When the computer is accessing a CD-ROM, an LED on the
drive glows and the Diskette/CD-ROM drive indicator glows.
