Hi all,

thanks to Bryan LaVelle and John L. Lanier for replying.

Apparently the support for optical jukeboxes was dropped with V5.0. :-( I didn't find anything about it in the release notes. So it was dropped very silently.

Hi all,

we have a big problem. We're trying to use a optical jukebox on a machine with Tru64 Unix V5.1B-2. Apparently there's a problem with the optical disk driver of V5.1B. with V4.0G everything worked fine

The media changer is recognized ok and is working. The optical disks aren't found corerctly and no device special file is made.

Here's the output of scu and hwmgr:
