I am collecting large amounts of data, filling up
Winchester disks and downloading on to tapes.  Rereading
these tapes is an impossible task, taking close to forever.
The logical solution seems to go to exchangeable optical
disks of high capacity and quick readoff.   But the DEC
people do not seem to want or be aware of this kind of
solution.  Has anybody out there gotten away with this?
How?

Thanks!

I run both 11/23 and 11/73's.
