Re: Archiving - In general

[Bob Larkin <blarkin@xxxxxx>]

We have 2 Plasmon 1800 jukeboxes with 110 12 Gig platters in each, and 2 Plasmon
rapid changers, with 12 12Gig platters in each. these were manufactured by
Cygnet, who was later purchased by Plasmon.

Anyway, the Plasmon has 12 inch optical platters with 5.6G, 12G, and 30G.
capacity. the published longevity of the the 12 and 30 Gig platters is 100 years
for reading and 30 years for writing.
