The DVD-ROM drive also works on the electric power

from your notebook computer. The PC card interface

is set to the 16-bit mode automatically and the DVD-

ROM drive enables data transfer at a slower rate than

in the CardBus mode (enables reading of DVD-ROM

disc data at a speed of about 2× max. and CD-ROM

data at a speed of 12× max.). When you use the drive

in the 16-bit mode, the POWER indicator flashes in

green.
