This may well be a dumb question, but this is fairly new territory to me.
We have a Coulter EPICS XL with a 486 workstation. Currently we are
archiving all our listmodde data onto rewritable Sony Magneto-optical
disks. Due to considerations of clinical trials etc, I want to go to
non-rewritable media, and by far the cheapest alternative seems to be
CD-ROM (I can get a Sony CDU-920S CD-R drive premastering unit and CD's for
the price of 6 months worth of magneto optical disks. Can people please
advise:

(1) Have you done this?

(2) How well does it work?

Thanks in advance for all replies
