KOM Networks announces support for HP Jukeboxes

Ottawa, ON Canada – April 23, 1992

KOM Networks is now shipping a version of their OptiServer® product which supports all models of the Hewlett-Packard optical disk library systems (jukeboxes). There are four (4) models of the jukebox, ranging from the model 10 with one (1) drive and room for 16 disks with a capacity of 104 Gb to the model 100 with either two (2) or four (4) drives and room for 144 disks with a capacity of 93.6 Gb. The jukebox uses a 5.25" drive mechanism which can handle either WORM or rewritable media.

OptiServer is available for any VAX™ system with a Q-bus, UNIBUS, BI-bus or built-in SCSI running VMS 46 or later.

OptiServer provides control over a jukebox of optical disks via a set of DCL extensions as well as an object library of routines which may be invoked from within user processes. OptiServer includes the OptiFile® II device drives, which permits rewritable and ORM optical disks to appear to the operating system as magnetic disks.
