Hello Net,

We are considering purchasing an optical disc for long-term archival of
sources, news articles, data files and so on.

Does anyone have experience of using such a beast ? I am looking for
pointers indicating what is available. Of course issues such as
reliability, usability, life-time of the discs themselves,
cost-effectiveness, etc., are also of great interest to us.

We are running 4.3BSD Unix on a Vax 750. Therefore some sort of
Unibus device is required.

Any information that sheds light on this would be very gratefully
received.

Thanking you in advance,
Cheers,
	- Robert.
