2-21] What does MultiRead mean? MultiPlay?

(2001/10/22)

The MultiRead logo indicates that a CD or DVD drive can read all existing
CD formats, including CD-ROM, CD-DA, CD-R and CD-RW. See the description
at http://www.osta.org/specs/multiread.htm The presence of this logo on
a CD-ROM drive does *not* mean that the drive can read DVD.

MultiPlay does essentially the same thing, but is meant for consumer CD
and DVD players. See http://www.osta.org/specs/multiplay.htm.
