Check with Pioneer. They have delivered a 6-disk jukebox for some time. y I don't know anything about US prices.

Jess – If you have requirements for fast access, the Pioneer DRM-600 autochanger may not be the way to go. At Micro Design, we write device drivers for use under AIX, DOS, Novell 386 (we have the only CD that appears as a Novell volume – see Dec 31,1991 article in PC Magazine) and UNIX. We are able to support up to 21 CD-ROM drives with 4 ISA or 4 MCA cards and are only limited by the number of DMA EISA slots when using EISA cards to support 7 drives on each card. With direct access instead of autochanger, data transfer rates are much faster. You can contact us at 407-677-8333 -> Eric

FYI, in addition to the other suggestion, both Meridian Data (Scotts Valley CA) and Online Computer Systems (Germantown MD) make CDROM drive stacks, as well as networking capability (Pioneer can also be networked for that matter).

For a CD-ROM Networking solution which effectively handles large numbers of CD-ROM drives, contact Online Computer Systems 800-922-9204. Three OPTI-NET solutions are available: a networked DOS Workstation, VAP, and NLM. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, call me at (301) 601-2213 (10/17 or later, Networld!).
