Default "Initial" Track on CD Rom Disk (Physical Stop or "Seek")

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for pointing me in the right direction with regards
to the "initial" track position (inside) when you first insert a data CD.

Another very important question: Is there a physical "stop" that
stops the head (the head moves toward the center of the CD and "hits"
a physical stop) at that "initial" track position, or is this done
by "seeking" that "initial" track?

Thanks in advance, Brad

Default "Initial" Track on CD Rom Disk (Physical Stop or "Seek")

dont have a reference,
but Both,
there is a hardware limit to head movement, from which,
the system logically seeks the innermost track which may not be the physical
inner track, (multi session disks, multi OS disks, specialty disks, credit
card advertising disks)
