re : DVD-RAM Drive in new machine

Mike,

We've just done exactly the same thing on an 825. You are correct, just
savobj dev(opt0x), although on our system OPT01 was the normal CD-ROM and
the DVD-RAM was OPT03.
You can also see the contents of both under wrklnk /qopt, they just come up
as different directories.
BTW, we have a partitioned machine, did an option 21 save to DVD-RAM from
the primary and then restored to one of the partitions. Worked perfectly,
although the full save to DVD was a little slower than tape.

Thanks

Hello all, we are getting ready to install our new 810 and it has a DVD-RAM
drive! I have a question, how do you "burn CDs" with this? Is there
software
that has to be used or do you just do "SAVOBJ DEV(OPT01)"?
