HP sells a Rewritable optical disk autochanger.  The official part #'s and $:

C1700A   Rewritable opt. disk autochanger Series 6300 Model 20GB/A    $39,950
Opt. 231 Delete media (all but one cartridge).                       -$ 6,450
Opt. AFJ Add on 2.0m SCSI cable                                       $    50

Ordering the C1700A gets you 32 pieces of media totalling 20GB of storage.
I have heard that if one orders the C1700A without using Opt. 231, the
shipping of the product can be delayed.  It appears that it is best to order
the product with Opt 231, and then order as much media as desired separately.
(The media is the bottleneck in the shipping process).
