I am running OS/2 Warp Connect and Lan Server 4.0 with an Adaptec 2842
controller with 2 Nakamichi 7 disc changers.  The problem I have having
is that with disconnect enabled on the controller the changers will
randomly start to rotate through the cd's.  This can happen at any time
either right after a workstation logs in or several hours when the
system is idle.  With disconnect disabled all the machines freeze while
a disk is being changed.  Both OS/2 and DOS workstations.

I have tried using a 1542c and it does the same thing.

A friend has a 1542cf and is running the same changer under Win 95 and
he has told me that with disconnect enabled his drive starts the rotate
the cd's.

I have spoke with Adaptec and they have not been able to come up with
anything.

Is there anyone else having the same problem with either OS/2 or Win 95?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Brian
