SYSOP (brian_gold@towernet.net) spoke thusly:
: 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.

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

Well, mine one MBR-7 (Nak? Mountain? NEC, I forget <g>.) workied fine for the 
ten minutes I ran it on DOS6/Win31. I am now using it under NetWare 4.1.

I notice a HELL of a lot of swapping on bus reset (e.g. when the SCSI card 
driver loads - in this case it's a Future Domain TMC850, but I also used an 
AHA1542C. The Adaptec NetWare drivers don't support multiple LUN's, but I saw 
the same behavior.)

Perhaps, therefore, something is crashing and so the drivers are sending out a 
bus reset when the unidentified-bad-thing happens?
