I may be purchasing an optical drive (worm), and need a bit of help
deciding.  What sort of access speed do I need in order to boot off
a worm.  Can I boot off a worm? Where on earth can I find drivers?

I'm still researching the drive, so I don't really know enough to
even guess yet...

How much does a unibus scsi card go for? What's an uda50 worth?

How much rewritable space does vms need?
