QUESTION: My computer does not recognize my CD drive. It stopped doing this so I thought the CD player was just shot. I put in a new one and got the same result. I switched IDE cables, same result.

Thinking more about this, the number of address lines going into a ROM/RAM chip are not that many. This means that you would not get many LUT’s per device using the FPGA LUT methodology.

Compact Discs–the same small, shiny platters that have taken the music world by storm–are entering the computer arena as CD-Read Only Memory (CD-ROMs), and mass storage will never be the same.

Where exactly is ROM involved in this? Dumping a tape program isn’t the computer ROM. Report comment. Reply. Alan says: April 12, 2016 at 3:16 pm Check out the first link.
