Does anyone have any experience with any of the relatively new optical
disks available and connecting them to the SCSI port of an Iris.  I see
in magazines like Mac User that there are a number of reasonably priced
units in the 600MB range.  We need a removable archive unit for convenience,
but high speed is not critical.  More convenient than standard tape, that
is...
