[edit] Magneto-opticals?

It had been my impression that the "PD" drives had been CD drives that could also read/write some Magneto-optical disks. Having read about DVD-RAM the other day that those are different to MO disks because DVD-RAM are "phase-change", does this in fact mean that the PD disks weren't the same as, or otherwise weren't compatible with, MO disks either? --195.92.168.163 04:04, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• I think that PD drives aren't magneto-optical. There also exists CD-MO, but it is extremly rare. Urvabara 17:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

PD discs are hard sectored with concentric tracks like DVD-RAM and MO, but use a purely optical read/write method. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 06:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
