Sorry...The ones HP makes will NOT work with the 825!
And the word from the Sales Rep and the System Engineers
is that an HP-IB r/w optical will NOT happen.

IEM and Bering make HP-IB r/w optical drives so you are 
NOT completely out in the dark.  See any recent issue
of HP professional for Addresses and Phone numbers.

(Or you can wait for Hp-Ux 8.0 which is rumored to allow
SCSI cards for HP-9000/800 series computers.  Of course
then you will also have to buy the SCSI card too, assuming
that such an item is developed, tested, and marketed.)
