This is a request for information on optical storage devices that
allow multiple users access the data therein.

Is it possible to mount several CDROMs on a single fileserver.
Our current solution is to dedicate a workstation to each CDROM and
allow users to access them via something like LANassist(tm),
NETremote(tm) and CarbonCopy(tm). Which is fine for one DB, awkward
for two and absolutely %$#$%^@ unmanagable for more.

We would be interested in some system that manages a library of n
CDs on x drives, where n is greater than x.

Also an unclaimed winning lottery ticket would come in handy :-)
