Nope...

BTW - the reason there aren't any multiple CD changers any more has to do with Explorer behavior. Any time you launch it, it queries ALL local drives - including the currently "not loaded" drives of the CD changer, causing it to cycle through each drive letter. There is no way around this, so the CD changer companies stopped trying to sell to the consumer market. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

It's horribly annoying that you have to wait for several minutes for Explorer to open just so you can disconnect the drives that where cut off when the modem disconnected. Jay
