Surprise! It turns out that the Mitchel software cannot be run off a mutli-changer - apparently you can't designation individual drives for each disc. I think it's pretty incredible that any current multi-disc CD-ROM product would be incompatible with something so standard as the CD-ROM multichanger, but apparently Mitchel isn't! Has anyone else had this experience? The Mitchel people say they are "looking into" "possibly" updating their software to accomodate multichangers, but who knows when. I'm not a "techy" person, but it seems to me that a re-write of the config.sys might designate paths for each CD, but I don't know... Any ideas? - Ted Hathaway Minneapolis Public Library thathaway@vz.cis.umn.edu
