I am looking for hardware to access 100 + or - CD's on a PC Lan.  It is
only necessary to read one, possibly 2, at once.  Is there any jukebox
available that can do this?

Kodak is making such a high capacity JB. (Model PCD100). It can come with Mac or
PC software. Price about 10K$.

Kubik is another maker. A carroussel for 240 CD's. PC software available too. This one can have up to 4 drives in it. Prices about 30K$

my needs are more modest. There are a couple of data bases I'd like to
leave online which need two or three disks.

So... is there anything out there that will hold, say, five cd-roms? 
Given that an audio-cd changer is only about $50 more than a plain one,
can I dare to hope????

We keep meeting in odd newsgroups.

I understand there's a Panasonic 6-disc changer that will suit your needs.
Sorry, I don't have a model number. As I recall, the price was ~$1200.

Pioneer sells one with 6 CD's and it is really fast (600 KB/s). But,
it costs about 1500 dollar :-(.
