 I'm looking for a WORM (or rewriteable) drive for a PC that
will hold a lot of data (>500Mbyte) on a removable medium for
long term storage (>10 years).
 I've got prices and info on drives from PLI, Connon and Pioneer.
Can anyone offer advice on these or other drives?
What is the state of standards for these types of things? Can 
disks be exchanged between different drive manufacturers and with 
CD-ROM drives? 
many thanks
RODTOD
