Does it work just like a tape device, with SAVxx and RSTxxx operations?

We just finished a new installation of a 3995. It works great. We can
now retrieve all telephone bills
for the past seven years in a matter of seconds. Sure beats searching
8mm tape backups. E-mail me offline
if you would like more info.

Anyone used or is using the 3995 Optical Library and can tell me how it
works. I am looking for something that will give near online retrieval
of historical data rather than keeping it on the DASD. What kind of
program changes will I have to make and is this even possible?
