[comp.periphs] Erasble Optical Disk Drives for a SUN

shan@hall.cray.com (Sharan Kalwani) (05/12/89)

Hello!

I have an application here which requires a large (starting at 2.5GByte
and expandable to say 20GByte) online storage, so it suggests
an erasable optical disk. I intend to mount it on a SUN-3/260
and use it as a single filesystem (eg /archive /dev/Optical0 2.5Gbyte 0%)
Had anyone tried anything like this so far? I have only two possible vendors ..
Alphatronix and possibly Trimarchi.

All suggestions welcome! Of course, if anyone is interested in a summary
I shall post it or mail it to them.
