Zane;
I use cdrecord and ld 6.2 on a Microvax 3100/40 running VMS 7.1 with a
Kodak PCD 225 to burn cd's and have no problems. Slowness??? well the Kodak
writer is only 2x... other than that its fine...

VMS 5.5-2 (will
hopefully upgrade to latest version
when get CD-ROM such as 'Toshiba XM-6401B'.)
So if I add a 'Plextor PlexWriter (SCSI) and use:
CDRECORD
LD062
... will I have a way to backup data onto CD-R's?
How about 'performance'? I am thinking it will be
slow, but how slow?

The biggest potential problem I see is VMS 5.5-2 as the newer versions of
VMS seem to support non-DEC devices a lot better. Will CDRECORD and LD
even support V5.5-2? As for how slow, I'm afriad I don't know.
