## Overview## Overview
−With the lid open and no disc in the drive, the program sends each [CD-ROM command](/hardware/cd-rom/commands/) in turn and records the interrupt type and the response bytes. It times each answer from the command write in cycles at 33.8688 MHz, counted on root counter 2 at one eighth of that clock. After the commands it reads the controller's RAM with Test 19h,60h.[^run]+With the lid open and no disc in the drive, the program sends each [CD-ROM command](/hardware/cd-rom/commands/) in turn and records the interrupt type and the response bytes. It times each answer from the command write in cycles at 33.8688 MHz, counted on root counter 2 at one eighth of that clock. After the commands it reads the controller's RAM with Test 19h,60h.[^run] [CD-ROM Controller With No Disc](/tests/cd-rom-no-disc/) sends the same commands with 0 to 3 parameters each and also tests the FIFOs, the registers and Reset. The two programs got the same answers.
