When reading the Wiki,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_once_read_many , I had to laugh,
since all my EPROMS are still ok. The data is safe, but the capacity of
EPROMs is low and the usage as backup media would be a little bit
elaborate.
Searching for "buy data worm drive" isn't promising.

Some kinds WORM drives are available, but seem not to be home solutions.
Success for the search "linux worm drive driver".

This seems not to be a solution for most of us.
