I've had a request for info and nobody I've talked to has any ideas.

[stuff deleted]

A friend of mine has a Sony Carousel audio CD deck that holds 5(?) CDs.
Does anybody make a multi-CD-ROM drive?

I saw Pioneer (the audio company) showing a 6-disc CD-ROM changer at
the spring COMDEX.  I didn't get a chance to talk to them about it, as the
jerk running the booth was too busy arguing with some guy about MCA vs.
AT bus, or something like that....  Pioneer is going under the name:

"Pioneer Communications of America, Inc., Optical Memory Products Division"

for this product. 
   I'd like to know exactally how you tell the changer which disc to pull
up in software (doesn't sound too difficult), and could/does it work in
a network environment?
