    I'm looking for a M/O jukebox of at least 50 GB capacity, *but* I
    don't want an elaborate caching or file migration software package
    with it; I want straight Unix filesystems, one per platter side, and
    some minimal way to change platters.  Anybody know of a vendor?
    Everyone I've found wants to sell me a very expensive "system" and I
    just need the bare bones.  Thanks for any information.

HP Greeley (Colorado) manufactures M.O. changer mechanisms from 40 to 100 GB
range. Aside from them OEMing these devices to many solution providers, they
have a file system (OSA) that mounts each side of a platter as a UNIX file
system.

HP has several basic products, on their UNIX platforms, which access these
devices in the primitive mode you describe.  The most basic comes gratis with
HP-UX. The next level (optical migration) comes from HP Boebingen (Germany)
where you have to actually pay additional $$.

Either call a HP sales rep, or I can get you the name of a product marketing
type in Greeley. My project is only a user of the MO Jukebox; I don't know
how to get you info on it. Sorry.
