Archiving Station
The archiving station consists of following components:
- A SPARCstation 5
- An Exabyte tape drive (8505XL)
- A Kodak PCD-224 CDROM writer
- A Kodak CDROM disc transporter
- Enough disk space for to buffer the equivalent of up to six CDROMs of data
Software Components
The software to control the archiving station consists of several Tcl-DP scripts. The main program is Archiver, which "owns" the CDROM writer and transporter. Other programs are called providers and their job is to assemble data and then call Archiver to make a CDROM from that data.
