--------------
I'm using a Mountain Quad-Speed 7-Disc CD Changer (MCD-1040 SCSI) and it
works quite well.  I believe Nakamichi makes a similar CD Changer as
well.

As long as you have a CD in a particular tray and you have an entry in
your '/etc/fstab', the CD should be mounted at boot-up.  As you change
from one mount directory to the next, the associated CD is loaded.

Hope that helps!
