Oh, I don't know. We have some WORM optical platters at work, 12", 12G. Have never got a straight answer as The Powers That Be have concluded I don't Need To Know. But the estimates are between $550 and $750 per platter. Have about 400 of them. Am told, "They'll last forever!" to which I reply, "Or until support for the drive fades. CDROM may only be 650MB but CD readers will be with us forever." -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
