I was wondering if there is an industry standard format 
for WORM (Write Once Read Many) drives.  Or is there a
dominant format which most vendors use?  I have noticed
that some of the new Magneto-Optical Drives can also
read WORM discs, I was wondering what WORM format are
they capable of reading.  I am currently in the midst of
choosing which WORM drive to purchase for my department
since my company needs a permanent non-erasable backup 
device.  Thanks.
