Re: Optical disk / Worm on DEC VAX.

( EDN, 13 nov.1986 )

" Providing SCSI hardware and a set of software modules, the GDV optical-disk 
driver allows you to use an ATG-Gigadisk or Optimem-1000 optical disk drive 
with DEC VAX computers. Cards that provide an interface with vax 11/700 series
or MicroVX computers are available for UnibUS and Q-BUS systems. The software 
interface includes a VMS 4.2 driver that provide basic read.write ans various 
optical disk specific functions. Data management software accomodates WORM 
operations; user selectable routines allow you to create , open or close files 
as well as to read or write records. A set of DCL commands permits disk and 
media management. the GDV software supports multiuser access to as many as 16 
optical disk drivers operating in parallel."
