	You don't hear much about WORM drives anymore in the magazines --
everybody's interested in the erasables.  I am currently involved, however,
in a project where we're going to be saving 10 MB/day for years to come.
It is apparent that SyQuest drives get expensive in less than a year
even compared to erasables, and tape is an option but not all it might be.
	The erasable optical drives and WORM are equally good for my
application, but I don't need erasability and I assume that erasables are
more expensive.  Can somebody give me an idea of who is making WORM drives 
for the Mac, including drive cost and disc cost?
