9.2 iXOS-JUKEMAN Server
I connected a new jukebox to my PC and new drive letters appeared.
Why did this happen?
At startup time, NT inspects the hardware for devices which could repre-
sent file systems. For instance a normal (internal) CD drive fits perfectly
well in this scheme. For SCSI devices, the type (according to the SCSI
standard) is checked in this process, but unfortunately some devices don't
respond properly to this request (for instance the Yamaha CDR 100 pre-
tends to be a WORM drive). In the absence of jukeman, all devices capa-
ble of containing a file system would be displayed for instance in the file
manager.
Since using a CD drive directly as well as through jukeman might yield
unexpected results in some rare circumstances, and some customers
would moreover like to connect a larger number of drives than can be
covered by drive letters, jukeman can override this standard behavior de-
scribed in the preceding paragraph in two ways.
