Sure, but then don't forget that worm(4) is just a misnamed CD-R
driver only.  It has never been designed to support the ancient
WORM-type devices at all.  The misnomer has historical reasons, since
many of the first-generation CD-R devices announced theirselves as
`type write-once'.  (There was no common standard for them back in
1995, and even now, a CD-ROM drive ``with multi-media extensions'' is
nothing i would immediately assume to be a CD-R device, so the poor
naming continues.)
