Can anyone recommend a source for a 800MB or larger write once optical drive for a PC? Does anyone have any experience with them? I'll summarize to the net if people mail responses. -- Jon Zeeff <zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us> Branch Technology <zeeff@b-tech.mi.org>

Retail price is $4450. In speaking with them just yesterday, they are shipping a 1GB, model APX-5000 with the same access time for $3575. Yes the price is correct. We will be getting a few of these drives for our PC's plus for use on Sun Workstations when the Sun product becomes available. BTW, these are 5 1/4" drives.
