Face it. . .they are ALL slow.  Don't think an extra couple hundred $ is
going to make much difference.

Suppose you save an entire 500ms (half a second) of average access time:
further suppose your average job takes half a dozen accesses (these will
probably not be scattered all over the drive except the last one).

The max improvement will be to take 3 seconds off your search time, a time
which is probably quite a bit more than the 6 seconds of access time.

How much is it worth the move a 30 second search to 27 seconds?

That is what you have to ask yourself between the slowest drives and the
fastest.  Even buffering usually has little effect here.

I myself purchased this package not long ago.  It was indeed a very good
deal.  I only wish I could afford the faster drive ( I got the CDR-36).
Caution:  be prepared to wait for it.  To make a long story short, they
told me I'd get mine in about three days and it ended up being three weeks
of the runaround.  But all in all a good package (especially the audio CD
capability).

hello all,

i haven't been reading this news group for long (i just got my cd-rom and don't
   even have it up at school with me) but i have been poking around trying to
   find all kinds of MAC cd's.  One place i have been continually seeing but
   hearing nothing about is Quantum Leap with their Giga-ROM 2.0, CD7, and
   MacAdemic cd's.  If anyone has ANY information (other than that they are
   big) it would be extermely helpful to me.  As of yet i am considering buying 
   all three cd's (to the tune of $250 - but when you just bought a cd-rom i 
   must say $250 just covers the bottom of the bucket) and i have been in 
   contact with the company, but i just haven't heard from ANYONE who has 
   any of the disc's, whether they like or dislike them.

I have been reading this group on and off for a few months and I assume most
of the talk is about PCs and DOS. I am interested in using a cd rom under UNIX
on a PC, specifically Linux.

So my questions are:

1. What type of interface do cd-roms come with? I guess the expensive ones
   come with SCSI interfaces but what about the cheaper ones? Are they IDE
   or some proprietary interface?

2. From what I have heard about the High Sierra format (is that ISO 9660?)
   the file layout was designed to be as general as possible (from DOS to VAX)
   so presumably it is possible to incorporate it into UNIX Does anyone
   know of any PD implementations or any information about doing this?

I will be most grateful for any information,

Thanks,

Chris.

I understand that data for Photo CD will be able to be added in multiple
sessions.  In other words you will be able to add rolls of film to a CD-R
until it is full. (I've read four sessions, four rolls, 100 sessions, or
100 images; you got to wonder if some of the journalists are assuming 24
images per role, 100 images per disk, therefore 4 sessions per disc.)

I believe that this is similar to Audio CDs having multiple tracks per 
Disc one song per track. With Photo CD, this would be the same as one 
roll or session per track.

Another data point, is that I have used mixed format CD-ROMS, with the
first track holding a file system, and the 2-n tracks having CD-audio.
As I understand it the current generation CD-ROM can only recognize the
first track of data.

Ok, here is the question, based on the quoted press release. Will Apple
have to upgrade the cd-rom DRIVE or simply issue a new DRIVER to access     
the 2-N tracks?  Second question, can CD-ROM XA drives read multisession
Photo CD?  I understand that even CD-I will need an update to read multi-
session.  I beleive they are doing it with some kind of ROM module.

Any one who can clarify these ideas, I would suggest posting, this is a 
low volume, hig content newsgroup (except for the "Which mac/ps drive 
should I buy?" questions).

I'm trying to get a CD-ROM application called CONSULT distributed through

system it is physically connected to but on the net it returns a message
that it cannot find the files it needs to start the application. This happens
no matter what drive it is mapped to, including the same logical drive as the
physical one for the drive. I have load a patch file to allow me to load
the MSCDEX extension on the workstations where there is no physical drive but
this does not seem to make any difference. I don't care if the application
can be used in a multiuser environment. I just want to be able to use it from
anyone of several workstations. Anyone have any suggestions.

To first order, the storage capacity (650 megs nominally) is filled with
the audio capacity (60 minutes nominally) --> 1 minute = 10 megs "ehh -

Skip, you may be right about the FUTURE of optical storage being some  
small non-moving device with increased speed, but as far as your  
comment about cd spinning being the "wrong way to go with the  
format."  Just what else do you have in mind.  A spinning CD which  
touches NOTHING except the spindle is not wearing itself at all.   
Would you have preferred that they designed the players so that the  
entire laser head assembly rotated around the CD.  Talk about slow  
with current CD ROMs, that beast would take a week just to read the  
directory... that is if it didn't break first.  :-)

I think you will notice the difference.  Remember that it often takes
more than one seek to get the _information_ you are looking for.  There
is seek overhead as the cd software looks through its directory, and
then its cross references, and lastly each element it is going to search.

I have an apple cd-rom on my Mac II, which I think is around 750 ms, and
I can't use it without something else to keep me busy . . . like a
sandwitch to eat or a magazine to flip through while it searches.

So, I plan on going for a sub 400 ms drive when I get one for my 486.

Hope this helps,

John

Summary: MM

Hi to all Multimedia developers,

we would like to buy also a CD-ROM drive now, to check out what can be done
on the CD media.

Now we currently have the Soundblaster PRO as the sound card.

Is it better to buy the Matsushita SB PRO CD-ROM drive or is the currently
not very expensive Mitsumi CD-ROM drive CRMC-LU002S the better way to go ??

I want to have a drive, that is:

1. Multimedia PC compatible !

2. Kodak Photo CD compatible, also with photos written in a second step !

3. XA compatible, I heard this depends only on the controller board ?

4. Fast access time <300 ms, and fast transfer rate >=150 KBits/s .

5. Should be compatible with 2 IDE harddisks installed.

From a test report inside the german magazine C't I know the Mitsumi has
150 KBits/s transfer rate. But what about the SB-Pro drive ?
(the Mitsumi drive seems to be slow, when there is much seek access , is the
SB-Pro drive over there better ?)

So what is the best drive to choose ? I would likely pay a few more bucks
to have a drive that is also compatible with CD-ROM-animation and Photo CD,
rather than having now a cheap drive but having to wait for it all the time
and have to buy a new one, when I wanna access Photo CD !!!

Any info is welcome.

Keywords: CD-ROM, Encoding, Decoding


I need a good source of information (paper, book, etc) on the 
encoding/decoding scheme used in a CD-ROM.

We want to try to implement the decoding of the output optically
so we need to know all the details of the encoding process.

Any help would be appreciated.
