I think the most you're going to find is somewhere between a 5 and 10 CD
changer. Any more than that and they're expensive, for some reason.
Back in the day when hard drives were expensive, I had two SCSI 8 CD
changers by SDI, or SCI, something like that. I mounted them each as
Netware volumes.. it worked well. Maybe look on eBay, might find some
cheap.
