5 Supported jukeboxes
5.1 Introduction
The hardware can be chosen from a variety of jukeboxes for CD-ROMS
and writable disks. It does not matter that most of these devices are con-
trolled in different ways.
Most functional differences are invisible for the user, but some properties
have an impact on the user interface. For instance, a jukebox lacking a
mail slot usually will not change disks itself upon request. For a jukebox
controlled via a serial interface, the appropriate serial port has to be
specified.
This chapter covers diffrent jukeboxes, their functionality, and the relevant
device description files. In case you skipped the set-up chapter, please
keep in mind that a lot of time can be saved by adding lines such as
“disks=1-5” or “save=*.sav” to the device description files.
This chapter makes use of the common meta characters “?” (any single
character) and “*” (any string) to address jukeboxes with similar names.
Note: On top of each of the following pages there is a sample device
description file to minimize any problems you may have setting
up the jukebox. The samples are set in two columns. Windows
NT on the left, UNIX on the right.
