The Datapro reports on Document Imaging Systems include a complete listing of
all jukeboxes including features and prices.  Also, Imaging Magazine May 1992
issue has an article covering many major jukeboxes, especially low-ends.

Hi.  I just got a query from my boss about other sources/manufacturers for
optical jukeboxes.  The only ones he mentioned so far is Sony, available from
Pinnacle Microsystems; the 10- and 56-platter varieties.  Does anyone else have
any suggestions?  We're running VMS on a VAXstation 4000-60, so it'd have to
work in that environment.  Our budget is $10k-$50k for this type of device (too
bad there's no budget for anything else  :-(.  Email me directly at
        bleau@umdsp.umd.edu
so I can get the fastest response.  They want a report tomorrow (that's 1/7) in
the am.  Yikes!

While I'm on it, he also wants a report on large capacity SCSI disk drives, in
the 1-2GB range, probably 1 or 2.  I have a good price on a couple Fujitsu
drives, capacities 1GB and 1.75GB (forgot model numbers).  Any other
suggestions?  Thanks for the feedback.
