I have a Toshiba SD-R2412 combo drive. It has a nice feature which
automatically slows down the disc if only low data rates are required,
e.g. when playing an audio CD or video DVD. This feature was totally
ignored by Toshibas marketing folks, but I like it very much. Does
anyone know if this feature has a fancy name or if other drives can
also do this?
