Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is linux support for the Teac CD-C68E 6CD
Autochanger?  (http://www.teac.com/dsp/cdc/cdc_c68.html)

By support I mean the ability to switch discs remotley or automatically
without having to press one of the buttons on the front of the drive.

Just this would be really handy in a Server which is located about 40
miles from my house/work and that's just too far to go whenever I need
to switch a disc!  :)

Many thanks,

Neil Burrows

I have such a drive - there are some utils for changing the active disc (eject
being the simplest). The one I like most is cdchanger - not only it changes
discs but also takes care of remounting.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'automatic'...

Try looking for info on the "eject" command or program....

I read it here some time back at new someone would be asking this type of
question again...

ie eject /dev/cdrom -LU4 or some such (LU4 is logical unit 4) etc

Hi Neil:
Just ran across a page tonight that looks like just the thing you're looking
for.

I use the 'eject' tool. It works with an NEC changer that I have.
You may wish to try it and see if it works with your drive.
Check out the man page
