When reading the Wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_once_read_many , I had to laugh, since all my EPROMS are still ok. The data is safe, but the capacity of EPROMs is low and the usage as backup media would be a little bit elaborate. Searching for "buy data worm drive" isn't promising. http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/wormdps/index.html Some kinds WORM drives are available, but seem not to be home solutions. Success for the search "linux worm drive driver". http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO66645 http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/sr.html This seems not to be a solution for most of us.
