There were several CD-ROM titel available. These were mostly educationaø encyclopedic collections which used the (then) massive storage capacity of a CD, 650MB (as opposed to a floppy disk of 2MB, or typical computer hard drive of 80MB), to deliver sound, text and moving image via user interface to a computer screen. Muir,(2005),Page 384

Octavo 92.8 was designed to run on a minimum specified Mac with 68020 processor, 4MB of RAM, a colour screen of 640x480 pixels displaying 256 colours. Typical, this would have been a Macintosh LC. Muir,(2005),Page 386
