Jem Computers is selling referb Archive Dat DDS-2 changers for
the $250-300 range.

They work fine with FreeBSD -- although I'm working out some
Amanda/chio/changer issues.

I'm getting about 433k/sec using an Adaptec 1542CF 16mb memory (until I get
chio working with bounce_buffers) and an AMD 586x-133.
