Question: Are there r/w heads for optical disks that can read info at higher disk speeds? And are there r/w heads that can read disks at slower speeds? Comment: If there are then why not just use two heads for r/w to the disk and keep the disk spining at the same speed? Or am I passing the technological limits of our times? I'm sure someone out there could fix that! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is just an opinion not a remark. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
