How much longer before the HD-DVD technologies become available as PC peripheral drives that can be used for general data archival? 


Forget that, and take a look at InPhase - 200G per disc

Well that will be great when/if it becomes a commercial and affordable product. HD-DVD though is much closer to prime-time:

I just hope the DRM/IP mess won't cause these to be useless, or only useable on Windows, or some other stupidity.

IIUI InPhase is already shipping prototypes and has got a number of bigname companies taking it seriously. I would not be suprised if it suddenly trumps Bluray and HDDVD. It could still become a 3-way fight.
