We have a growing population of DECstation 3100s and a stable population of
Sun 3/50s.  Unfortunately (for our systems staff), the machines we've
traditionally had backup devices on are being replaced by these faster, newer
machines which don't have a bus to stick interface cards into.

We are aware of the Exabyte solution, but what I'd really like is some
erasable optical disks that could be chained onto the scsi bus.  Using
them (the erasable optical disks) as dumb dump devices would be fine in
the short term, but I'd really like to use them as slow (but removable)
filesystems.

Is anyone aware of products which would serve our purposes?  Recommendations
for WORM devices also welcomed, but I think we're really looking for an
erasable optical disk with an embedded SCSI controller.

[ Maybe I'm completely wrong, too, but I'm sure someone will post that out
  within the next 10 seconds. ]
