  I could be wrong on this..But..  Are you -Sure- the disks you are
thinking of are "CD" disks and not optical (aka:Laser) disks?  The only
read/write/erase very-high-density disks available now (that I've heard
of) are the 500 megabyte ones from 3M.  Those are, I think, laser optical
disks reather than CD's...  They may look similar, but the technology
problems and advantages are different in subtile but important ways....
