I have a friend that wants to put up an application that requires multiple
CD-ROM drives on a netware 3.12 network. Performance is not a major issue,
but just want to not have to physically insert media continuously; and still
do it cheap. We notice there are a few changers out there (NEC,Pioneer,?)
that may fill this mini-jukebox requirement.
A few questions come to mind,
Do they implement it so that each disc is a seperate SCSI ID and LU?
If so, are the ID&LU range selectable?
Or does it just look like one drive with some extra scsi disc-selection
command. i.e. do we need special software to do the switching and
Netware volume mounting and drive mapping? Will cdrom.nlm work with
these (or any?) of these drives? Recommendations and comments welcome.
SCSI controller is a FutureDomain1680. ok?
Thanks.
