are these hard to come by (or make even!). Seems like
a darned handy thing to have around.
That looks specific to a CD-ROM. Search on "Acard", they make one
that a lot of people use on Unix workstations. The "Acard" device
can also be used under OpenVMS if you're lucky, but Volume Shadowing
won't work from what I'm told (doesn't fully support the SCSI
protocol).
I don't have any, but have thought seriously about moving my data
drives on OpenVMS to an IDE drive on one in order to quiet things
down.
