	We are actively searching for a number of WORM drives to be used
primarily as archival devices.  We are not necessarily interested in placing
file systems on these units.  So we have the following questions re: 5.25"
drives:

1) Standards:  Is there one or a clear leader?
2) Manufacturer: Who constructs a stable and reliable unit particularly
   for field work (i.e. portable)?
3) The devices will be operated on a Sequent Symmetry, Apollo 3500, and
   Custom built 030 based OS/9.  Do device drivers exist for these drives?
   (Sequential read/write use)
