[WEB4LIB] CD/DVD Server Purchase

[TMGB]

You may want to look at http://www.axis.com Axis Communications.  I am
having to put their Axis StorPoint in two of my CD Towers now because
There are no more updates to Merridian's CD Net software which is the
server/client software that won't run on W2K.  The StorPoint will
support 7/14 SCSI drives depending on which model you get.  The
StorPoint can cache whole CDs to HardDrive at a very high compression is
my understanding. The StorPoint works with multiple protocols SMB,
Netware (various versions), AppleTalk...

Here, never mind all that, I just copied the informative PDF file to
