Anybody using a WORM drive out there? We're considering a small-end model
(1.2 GB) to back up an RA81 and an RA80 on a VAX750 running 4.3BSD unix. 
This site requires large amounts of long term off-line archival storage,
and therefore the WORM disks caught my eye. The particular model I was
looking at is very cheap as compared to most others (around $7000) and
sports a TMSCP interface, which I can deal with quite nicely. The
thought of replacing rooms full of 2400' 9track reels with a small
drawerful of compact optical disks appeals very strongly!
