Pardon me if this info has been posted, but could anyone please
recommend an optical read/write disc drive that works on the 
DECstation 3100 SCSI bus?  I am looking for a disk/driver for doing
backups.  I like the optical ones I have seen which can be mounted
as a filesystem themselves.  They use a "CD" style disk which holds
about 200Mb/side and costs something like $300 each.

If anyone knows a good model to buy that definitely works on the 3100,
please mail me..

Thanks a lot,
Gordie Jacobs
