Under DOS the three platters appear as three different drives, and the autochanger brings the "current" disk in as appropriate. Will the ATAPI driver be able to read the first platter as if it were a single disk drive? I am recommending FreeBSD to a friend with such a system, hence my ignorance of this area.
