Does anybody know if some company is offering  or intends to offer
a CDROM server on a TCP-IP network.
Typically this would be something looking
like what Meridian Data Inc in Scotts Valley offers for PC networks.
It should include a reasonable number of CD-ROM drives,
possibly a magnetic disk acting as a cache and present an NFS I/F on
the network. Whether the server itself runs UNIX is partly
irrelevant but it would be nice for performance and upgradability
(AFS server for example).

Thanks in advance for an advice
E-mail and I will summarize to alt.cd-rom if applicable.
