The seek times are indeed long however if the drive file structure is optimized
for to reduce distance between the files the timing is bearable. I to have been
working with DMA and Caching, but the problems in a MMU related environment are
very nasty. I have had direct conversations with Philips in the Netherlands and
There person here in the US who defined the SCSI CD-ROM implimentation. After
our conversation They agreed there Standard was flawed. This leaves us with the
inability to use a SCSI approach for any thing approaching CD-ROM Multimedia at
the level that users will expect to have.
