Basic Operations
Using optical disc drives
The illustrations in this section might differ slightly from your drive, but
operation is the same for all optical disc drives. The full-size drive provides
high-performance execution of disc-based programs. You can run either
12cm (4.72") or 8cm (3.15") discs without an adapter. An ATAPI interface
controller is used for disc drive operation. When the computer is accessing
a disc, an indicator on the drive illuminates.

CDRW/DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
