Hi,

   I'm looking for some recommendations for a magneto-optical jukebox
which uses a SCSI interface. I intend to hook it up to one of my Sparcs
to act *either* as a generic NFS file storage system or a specific 
application controlled image retrieval storage system (i.e. the application
can control the device directly). If I could do both concurrently, I'd
be one happy dude.

   I have heard good things about HP's jukebox but am not sure if they 
support the smaller range of 10 platters. Pinnacle also has a nice range
of small-medium sized jukeboxes but I haven't seen many around these parts.

   What I would look out for :

    	- Reliability and stability
	- Good support and service
	- Speed i.e. access time
	- Uncomplicated *working* API for Sun Sparcs (Sun OS 4.1.2)
	- NFS facilities and management
	- 10 platters or thereabouts 
	
   I seek recommendations from those who have experience with similar setups
and will be much grateful for any information given. Thanx-a-lot-in-advance.
