multi-disc CD changer
Posted by Bill H. on March 2nd, 2008


I have a multi-disc changer attached to WinXP Pro via SCSI.

WinXP seems to have a problem with the changer (as did Win 2k). From what I
can tell, when for example, opening up Explorer (my computer), Windows tries
to read each CD, but doesn't give enough time for the changer to swap in the
disc, read it, and then swap in the next.

Sometimes, this process can take 5 min or more while it tries to read one,
then wants to read the next before finishing the first, so the changer swaps
out the disc, only to have Windows then want to finish reading the first
one, etc., so it swaps in that one, and so on.

Any patches, fixes to eliminate the problem? The changer is one SCSI ID
with separate LUNs for each disc (total of 5 discs).

Thx.
