If you want a good overview with C. Try Dr. Dobbs Journal DEC 1992 issue
source code can be downloaded from their forum (GO DDJFORUM).
What machine are you using? If you are a PC using Microsoft Extensions
MSCDEX should help with the development time.
How much direct access do you need? If you are working with files then
once a CD-ROM is mounted (on a MAC or UNIX) or you have a drive letter on a
PC. You can access the files on the CD-ROM just as you would a normal
device like a hard disk. So you really don't have to know too much on how
it works at the lower level since the operating system handles all the
dirty work.
