Someone asked for this and since I can't seem to send mail directly
I thought I would post it here.

Cygnet produces jukeboxes for the optical disc drive market. We currently
offer three different versions in the 1800 series.

Model 1801: This is a manually operated frame that can hold from 1-5 
	    12" drives. The rest of the space is used for media storage.

Model 1802: This is a minimum configuration automatic storage and retrival
	    device. It is an 1801 with an elevator frame attached to 
	    exchange cartridges between storage and drive slots. An
	    exchange can take from 8-12 seconds depending on the drive
	    type (most time is spent loading/unloading and spinning 
	    drives up/down). The elevator can move at 60" per second.

Model 1803: Same as an 1802 with a extra media frame attached giving
	    a total capacity of 121 cartridges in a single drive unit
	    with an Optimem drive (which is equal to 242 gigabytes of
	    on-line storage). Other drives have different thickness
	    cartridges so total capacity does vary a bit. The size of
	    this unit is about 6 ft tall, 3 ft deep, and 6 ft long.

We are an OEM company and have contracts with Kodak, Wang, and many many more.
