What is the best filesystem - driver for a Pioneer DRM-604 CD Changer?

Do you remember this quote, "There can be only one!"  

Regardless, it is not the file system per se, but the controlling software; ASIMware's CDFS know to use the unit numbers of the SCSI ID numbers.  You are aware that an A2091 (for example) uses ID #7 for the controller, leaving you 0 to 6 ID numbers for your device.  Each device can have 7 unit numbers: a CDROM changers set to be device 3 will access each of its CD Drives by the unit numbers (0 to 7).  There by each drive gets a number like 035 where the drive is unit 5 on device (ID#) 3.

You can do this by hand and set up a mountlist for each drive in a changer, or just use ASIM-CDfs that also allows each drive to be used with a GUI.

AS I recall, you can have up to 7 controllers or so, in your computer, in which case the mountlist might contain "235" for controller 2, ID 3, drive 5.

Thanks for both or your replies.

I will try using ASIM-CDFS.   I own (actually multiple versions as always got the upgrade) ASIM-CDFS since AmigaOS 1.3 through 3.1.   I started using the internal file amiga CDFS at 3.5 and above.  more or less I was wondering if there were better configuration or easier you use configurations or more powerful configurations than ASIM-CDFS offers.

@danbeaver   "There can be only one!"  That is just like us in the Amiga community that hang on an old computer from the second age of man kind.  "My Precious!"

I think with this some units you are partly correct.  I think some of the CD changers are set up the way you describe, but some use luns.
 I think this one uses luns (as this is a Six disk changer).  So you really need a SCSI controller that can handle Luns, like an A3000 internal, or a gvpscsi.  If my memory serves, (it as been a while) the 235 you are referring to is correct, the 2 is controller, the scsi ID is the 3, but the Luns or "drive" is the 5.  (correct me if I am wrong).  Most fixed hard drives have a lun of 0, but drives with multiple media (like a multi card reader) have multple luns with one id,  so the CD changer is "probably" lun 0-5.  Otherwise you would quickly run out of Scsi IDs which is not the case with may readers.

When I say Unit Numbers, I mean Logical Unit Numbers or lun's.  The "logical" part of that seems not needed IMHO.  Mike is correct, Mech's SCSI card readers use the same thing.
