SCSI CD cabinets

I was contemplating seeing if I could replace the transport with a SCSI DVD-ROM unit just for fun, as 7 CDs isn't all that interesting. As for the OP's question, if _I_ had a 7 *transport* box, I'd consider replacing most or all of the transports with SCSI DVD-ROMs for a decent amount of archival storage readback. I could back interesting things up to DVD-R on a single writer, then keep the most important stuff available for readback. It's not as much storage as even a moderate-sized RAID array, but it isn't likely to suffer from headcrashes, etc. -ethan
