    We know that Panasonic CR-562-B CD-ROM can give a data transfer 
rate (due to DV mode) up to 300kBytes. It's a double speed CD-ROM.
I want to know whether when accessing data in normal time, it can 
run in such a mode (DV mode) so that it can keep the speed up to 
300kBytes. If not, how can I do to change current mode (NV mode) into
DV mode. 
    The other question is that the interface card for CD-ROM has 
8-bit and 16-bit bus size. How much in speed can 16-bit outrun 8-bit??
The 16-bit bus can indeedly give quite good performance??
