I am looking for a WORM (or other random access media (ie: random access DAT)
that will work across several hardware platforms (PC/DOS, MAC, SPARC/SUN Os,
VAX/ULTRIX, VAX/VMS). Am I asking for too much !! Ok Ok once you stop laughing,
let me describe my problem. I need to transfer very large data archives 
(~650 Mb) between these hardware platforms.  Given the size of the archive,
transfers via a LAN are out of the question. Further only a portion (~10-50 Mb)
of the archive will be of intrest at any given time.  I think the interface of
choice is SCSI.  I have no problem writing my own device drivers, however I
would really like to avoid it.

Any Ideas?
