Allan,

  If you get yourself a copy of the TRI/ADD Shippable Products Catalog, which
is available for anonymous ftp at:

gatekeeper:    16.1.0.2		gatekeeper:pub/DEC/TriAdd/TAcatalog.ps
				gatekeeper:pub/DEC/TriAdd/TAcatalog.ps.Z


you can find the vendor information for MAXOPTIX Corporation who sell the
Tahiti drives. There is also information on Jukebox systems in the storage
section as well. The catalog is indexed by both Vendor and Product type. It
is provided solely to make searches for Third Party Hardware easier for DEC
customers (read: it's free to you and it's free to the vendors, as we don't
charge anything for including their product material).

I hope that helps.

				Thanx,
				  AJ

It is a pretty solid drive, and quite fast as M-O drives go.

The last address I have for them (about a year old) is:

MaxOptix
2520 Junction Ave.
San Jose, Calif.

From that you should be able to get a phone number from information.
They are (or at least were at one point, I'm not sure of the
current status) a division Maxtor.

Allan,
As far as I know, the Tahiti-II is a magneto-optical drive, not a CD-rom drive.

HP also makes MO drives and autochangers, ranging from 10GB to 90 GB systems.
Contact your local HP sales rep for more info.
