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 I was using a 6-disc changer with my Amiga 3000 for a while... on every boot, the system paused while the changer swapped in every disc to read the TOC... it got so annoying that I eventually mothballed it and bought a "normal" drive to replace it. At no point did I find it particularly useful to have 6 CD's worth of data available at any given time.
