Pioneer 8000 LaserDisk - 2 sided?

A few questions regarding the Pioneer LD-V8000:

Can it play 2 sides of a disk without flipping the disk over?
Will this work for both CAV & CLV disks?
Will this work under computer control?

What I want to do is get computer controlled access to about 90 minutes
of video without having to pop out a disk and flip it over.  If the
Pioneer doesn't do it, are there any that will?  Has anyone used two
players together to get more than 1 hour?

Thanks for any info,

- Carl Sutter

No.  All of the single-platter Pioneer industrial players are single-sided
as well, including the LD-V8000.  Pioneer does offer a $7K+ juke box, based
on the LD-V4200, that has a flipper.

No on the '8000.  Yes on the juke box.
