Hi all in netland. I am making a general enquiry for information regarding Rewritable Optical Disks. These beasts are just starting to hit the Australian market and what I desire from netland is some feedback from users who have tried (and won) installing these beasts on SUN 3/xxx and SUN 4/xxx beasts. I have seen devices from Sony and Pioneer but the problem is not so much the device but the device drivers and kernel support. I know there are a few installations or WORM machines but rewritable is my immediate concern. WHY?? Ihave over 6GigaByte of online storage and want some means of having fair backup times but fast (very fast) retrieval times. Many thanks, Bruce Robertson.
