Various folks have successfully used common third-party disk disk devices with OpenVMS, such as the ATA (IDE) and SCSI variants of the Iomega Zip250 removable disk device. Common SCSI CD-R/CD-RW devices such as the Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32S SCSI series and the HP DVD200i series (recording CD-R) have also been successfully utilized with various AlphaStation and VAXstation systems, and with tools such as CDRECORD. (A Plextor PlexWriter burn of 614400000 bytes (300000 sectors) requires just over six minutes at 12x, using an AlphaStation XP1000 666 MHz EV67 system UltraSCSI host.) (See Section 9.7 for detailed discussions of recording optical media on OpenVMS, and the available tools.) If you choose to attempt to use third-party devices, ensure that you have the most current OpenVMS version and the most current ECO kit(s) applied. In the specific case of the ATA (IDE) Iomega Zip250 drive, ensure that you have the most current revision of SYS$DQDRIVER installed.
