- i hope you're not confused about what you need. your post indicates
- an interest in CD(typically considered to be a compact disk, a 3 1/2"
- media usually produced in quantity) and WORM(typically used to refer to
- write once read many, and that generally a 5 1/4" form factor).
- there is also a cd-wo that ocean (bering) in campbell, ca. is selling.
-
- if you really mean CD, there are cd writer units(phillips, jvc, etc), but
- software to drive them on some platforms may be achallenge to find.
- if you meant WORM, i would suggest you consider multi function drives.
- they will write worm or erasable(only the media knows/cares). units
- of this flavor are available from hp, pioneer, etc. again software/os
- choices should be made with care as standards are in a state of flux.
-
- just my 2 cents worth...
