   Imagine this monstrosity...  at one point I had a dual SCSI controller    
   with 2 5-disc changers and 8 single drive CD-ROMs.  All external.  What    
   a cabling nightmare.  Internally there were 2 IDE 500MB drives and 2 1GB    
   SCSI drives.  I also had a pair of glacier-slow 2GB "tape-disk" drives.   
      
   Needless to say, free drive letters were scarce.   
      
   I had an IDE CD Changer that held 3 discs, but it was always jamming up.
