I think the easiest would be to simply set up the drives on the bus as a CDx DOS Driver. And then use the front panel in admin mode to change discs.

I imagine it woud quite amusing if the unit generated 700 LUNs for each of the discs! And you had to setup 700 CDx DOS Driver files! LOL! :rofl:

More realistic than it would genrerate only 100 LUNs. Or less.per magazine size.

Any software written would need to know the internal SCSI commands the stacker uses to change discs. This could be a a GUI where stacks of icons for each disc can be clicked on which would then be loaded in the drive and mounted on the CDx unit. Though having 7 rows of 100 gadgets would be tight!

Without this infomation you're stuck using it manually like any other hardware connected to an Amiga. Like a printer scanner, it's just a fact of Amiga life. Or, hook it up to a PC and use a SCSI Sniffer! :laugh1:
