Not only is there support, there is GREAT support for the Pioneer DRM-604x
6-disk CDROM changer. The just hook it up and generic kernel handles it
fine. I just had to MAKEDEV cd{1-5} and create 6 mount points. Thats it.
To get this kind of support on SunOS 4.1.x my ex-company had to pay $750 a
pop. And I get it for free. :-))
