You can have up to 7 SCSI CD players attached to one server. It works well. This does require that you dedicate a Mac as a server. I don't know about other solutions. As for a multi-disc CD player, there may be such a beast out there, but I haven't heard of anything widely available. Panasonic recently announced a 6-disc CD-ROM player; perhaps they have a Macintosh driver available. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "My opinion, not Apple's"
