[comp.unix.ultrix] erasable magneto-optical SCSI drives for the decstation 3100

anthony@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu (Lawrence Anthony) (06/08/89)

Our group is considering purchasing a decstation 3100, either diskless
or with a small hard disk (say, rz22 or rz23).  Does anyone know of any
3rd party erasable magneto-optical SCSI drives that could be used (or
kludged to work) with the decstation 3100 in the above configuration?

The optical drive would be used both for user (and possibly system)
files and as a backup/archiving device (in lieu of a tk50 or tk70).
A tk50 drive can be borrowed for software installation, if necessary.

Any assistance/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Please respond
via e-mail to anthony@csvax.caltech.edu if possible.

Thanks in advance.
