Can you imagine a worse computer to use to demonstrate a 7-CDROM changer drive?
Picture an Atari Falcon user whose life has been made easier by having 7 data discs at the ready.

@blakespot You got that backwards, no *BETTER* machine. It's a sweet machine, from the time of the changer & CDs.
If I'd replaced my Mega ST with Falcon instead of a 486 & OS/2 I'd've basically done exactly that. Only had the one CDROM drive on the 486.

@mdhughes Oh, I agree! I have a 4MB 520ST expanded system with dual screens, and I'd love a Falcon.
But -- I'm just saying -- there weren't a lot of ST users getting tennis elbow popping CDROM after CDROM into their ST-connected drive!
