Triple-Density CD-RW
EE Times is carrying a rather interesting article that talks about a new generation of CD-RW that promises to be 3x as fast and have 3x the capacity as current drives. It's also expected to scale to 4x and 5x.
From the article:
"The premise of ML technology is the use of gray-scale disc encoding, with 3 bits per spot giving eight shades of gray. Under a microscope, the disc surface appears as a continuous blending of light to dark shading, versus the traditional disc appearance of either dark or bright spots."
