CD Changers that work by giving a different LUN to each CD work.
You have to define MULTI_LUN (somewhere in the kernel's scsi.h in 1.2.13)
or answer yes to the config option when compiling Linux 1.3.X.

Don't be fooled by CD changers: you get what you pay for. They are
useless devices in a multiuser or networked environment.

1. CD-R and CD changer support in Solaris?

We are working on a project where we'll collect large amounts of data,
and periodically we'll want to transfer several hundred MB of this
data to several client sites.

Since the old data is static, a CD-ROM solution seems perfect for us;
ideally we would store ~650MB of data per CD, and have several CDs
mounted in a CD-ROM changer.  We would also have a CD recorder to
allow us to create CDs to send to our clients.

Do CD-ROM changers and CD-ROM recorders look like regular SCSI CD-ROM
devices to Solaris 2.x, so that they will work pretty much out of the
box, or do we need special drivers and mastering software even for our
very simple requirements?

Thanks,
Fredrik Nyman
