So being a hardware freak... Ive managed to salvage a pair of optical disk
jukeboxes. One of them is a Sony CXD8515Q and uses apparently run-of-the-
mill "rewritable optical disks". The other jukebox happens to be of HP
descent, which i havent opened yet, and Im wondering if there is support
for either of these things under plan 9? I certainly wouldnt mind having
an actual jukebox for my backups. Of course next question in line is,
where can i get more of these expensive opti-disks? The cheapest ive
found per storage unit is $10 per gigabyte, and that is with 9gb disks,
the lower end of the spectrum has 1.2 gb disks for $25-35, and I of
course dont have money for 10+ optical disks to fill the jukebox up.

Thanks,
Andrew
