Well, I just got some junk mail from DEC today advertising a deal that
combined the the el-cheapo single slot CDROM drive with ultrix media
and on-line doc.  Admittedly, you need a SCSI capable workstation to
hang the thing on and I don't know whether a parallel offer will be
avaiable for VMS or if this is just an apology for not having Ultrix
support for the infoserver (yet?)...
