Good daytime,

Does anybody have a driver for SCSI CD changer from Nakamichi? One from VOGONS driver library is only for IDE drives.

The problem with standard driver is the changer recognizes only as 5 independent CD-ROM drives with 5 different letters, but I need to have one letter with contents of the loaded CD inside.

as far as I know those drives identify themselves to the system as several drives, since each drive letter will correspond to one of the chosen cdtrays.
This is also one of the more annoying features of those drives when you accidentally access two cds at the same time it will be busy accessing one, then the other, then the one, etc... until the access has finished.

If the default aspicd.sys doesn't work then I'm fairly certain you'll be out of luck. Though I could be mistaken since I only have the ide version and never had a scsi one.

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

These are the SCSI drivers listed on the old Nakamichi archive

They won't. They're only for SCSI CD. You have right opposite problem than I had. Fortunately. drivers for IDE CD changer are not quite rare. https://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php … driverid=386809 - here they are, for example. http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?file … menustate=58,55 - they present even in Vogons library.
