Ah, great memories.  I had one of those SCSI 6 CD changers on my OS/2 AdeptXBBS
(The Bachelor Club).  When the user tagged a file for download, it would copy
it off the CD to local disk temp directory.  Then when the user starts their
batch download, it wouldn't have any weird and unexpected pauses while the
drive was switching disks.

Fun times.

Take care,
