| CD-ROM XA
This CD-ROM standard holds the unique distinction of having been a
must-have checklist item for CD-ROM drives before it even became a
standard. While the standards committee was hashing out how "extended" the
new architecture should be, every CD-ROM drive maker was slapping an "XA-ready"
label on its boxes. Most of the time, this was the manufacturers' way of
saying that the drives read multisession CD-ROMs. |
