Does anyone know if the ATAPI drivers (for IDE CD-ROM) support
the Triple CD-ROM juke-box drives, as found in some Gateway 2000
high-end systems?

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.
