    Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com NOT MEASUREMENT SENSITIVE MIL-HDBK-9660A 30 September 1996 Superseding MIL-HDBK-9660 1 December 1995 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HANDBOOK DOD-PRODUCED CD-ROM PRODUCTS This handbook is for guidance only. Do not cite this document as a requirement. AMSC N/A AREA IPSC DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A. Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-HDBK-9660A FOREWORD 1. This handbook is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense (DOD). 2. This handbook is for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the contractor does not have to comply. 3. The production and use of Compact Disc-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) have significantly different considerations than of paper products. This handbook serves to provide guidance to Department of Defense agencies on the use of Compact Disc (CD) technology as the recommended method for physical distribution of information within DOD. This document is the basis for addressing current/future CD-ROM issues/concerns. 4. In the past few years the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) CD-ROM Standards, ISO 9660 and ISO 10149, have become widely accepted for sharing large amounts of information across all computing platforms. With the acceptance of the two ISO standards, the use of CD-ROM to store and disseminate information is not only becoming a reality, but is being implemented throughout DOD as a means of reducing paper/magnetic media/microform distribution and attendant costs. ISO 9660 standardizes the logical (data storage) format and ISO 10149 the physical format of CD-ROM, but user interfaces, application platform support, and the utility of the information provided is driven by many different producers of CD-ROMs.

Understanding CD-R & CD-RW v. 1.00 Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA) Market Development Committee Author’s Notes It’s often said that the only constant in the computer and consumer electronics industries is change. Nonetheless, CD-R and CD-RW have remained a constant and trusted companion for many. CD-R and CD-RW technologies have, of course, evolved over the years but change here has come in practical and tangible improvements to quality, performance and ease of use. Unique compatibility and affordability, at the same time, have made CD-R and CD-RW the popular storage choice of industry and consumers alike. This paper replaces OSTA’s earlier “CD-R & CD-RW Questions & Answers” document. Like its predecessor, it seeks to answer basic questions about CD-R and CD-RW product technology in an understandable and accessible way and to provide a compass pointing to sources of further information. If you have suggestions to improve the effectiveness of this paper, please feel free to contact the author by email: [email protected]. Sincerely, Hugh Bennett, President Forget Me Not Information Systems Inc.
