  I have received literature from Epoch Systems (Westborough Mass,
1-800-U.S.-EPOCH ) describing their optical jukebox system layered under
an NFS server.  Its a neat idea.  The system is an intelligent file management
system which keeps the most used files on magnetic media, and 'pages' it out
to the read/write optical media as the files get older.  Lots of HardDisk/
Optical configurations are available.  Give these guys a call if you want
some more info on the product.
