i have a Panasonic model 940 (LF-5010) WORM optical drive.  
before i get tons of questions through email...  i have no 
documentation, below are the only details i have...

i would like $400 for it, as the brand new cartridge i am 
including cost $150 6 months ago.

the features are...

  Centronics pass-thru SCSI interface
  External enclosure with SCSI-ID selector (original)
  470 Meg per side, 940 Meg per cartridge
  Reccomended Media is Panasonic LM-D501W Cartridge

i bought two carts for it, used one, and have a second
unused cartridge that i am including.  i will include a
centronics scsi terminator and cent-cent scsi cable if
required.  this drive needs "EZ-SCSI", Corel-SCSI, or
other removable media software for DOS use.  as for 
unix/SunOS/Linux/OS2 you are on your own.

cart's run about $150, and can be ordered from several
media houses mail order from the back of the tech rags.
i can dig out a few sources if necessary.

don't know the speed, but it was plenty fast for 3rd
party s/w storage for me...  i loaded it with lotus,
dbase, wp, games, corel, and alot more and never had
a problem with it.  i am a little itchy about selling a
WORM over the net due to the possibility of mis-configuration
etc. but i am digging out from the post-xmas bills and
need to get some closet space back.

bill.
