I have a few questions about Sun's CD-ROM.  Maybe some knowledgeable Sun
person would be nice enough to respond.

o How is the mount/unmount handled?  Is root the only person allowed to
  mount a disc that is in the player?
o Is there a WORM or eraso-optical unit out on the market that will write
  a CD capable of being read by Sun's CD-ROM (if so - please point out who)?
o Our need for something like this is growing.  I would rather have a Sun
  supported drive since hopefully it will cut down on...  "Well, the driver
  worked until we upgraded to SunOS 4.8.3"

Thanks mucho in advance,
