Ron and all,

I printed out the complete manual and it looks like a reasonable unit.  I 
think that there is a good chance that it will just work.  Or that two of 
the three that we will have will work.   ;^)

What I would like to be able to do with this unit is to just load it up 
with image disks and let it run reducing data for a couple of weeks.  I 
have 750 or so data disks and will be turning them out at the rate of 200 a 
month soon.

I am still mucking about with the best method of data reduction.  When I 
settle on a method, I will want to just load up the changer and run.

If you want to read all about this device, the manual is available at:

Also see:

So really all I want to be able to do is to read the contents of a selected 
CD to hard disk under Linux.  That may be a lot, but it may also not be so bad.
