 Well, maybe I'm not that smart, but how the hell can you emulate read/write
 device on Write-Once-Read-Many? As I understand, it will be either TERRIBLY
 non-effective (like zillions of bytes be eaten as garbage), or it will not
 work at all (:-)! 

 So to use it as a source archive (with modifications once in every 100 years),
 you probably can (if you're leaving at least 35% of WORM space free for those
 games). But that's all!
