<pre><strong> If you have enough hard drive space / or plan to purchase another drive you may be interested in a CD-ROM Jukebox Emulation software. "Virtual Drive 2" is just that. I have used it for Fritz5 / Talk CD / Junior / ChessMaster 5500 & 6000 / Rebel10 (Next will be the ECO Rebel CD), and many others. IT WORKS!, and its 100x time as fast as the conventional CD-ROM, plus you have the multi-CD-ROM access all the time, WITHOUT CD-ROM INSERTION! I have placed a (30) Trial Download of "Virtual Drive 2" on my chess site at: Loiodice's Chess Collection - http://loiodice.com/chess/ for free download. BTW: The VD2 software is $34. and a 11.6GB hard drive at a local Costcos is approx $284. A 12Gb hard drive can hold 18-24 CD-ROMS at once because many of the CD-ROMS can be compressed with the VD2 softare to haldf the otiginal size. A Jukebox multi-platter CD-ROM player and software will cost many times more and will NOT be as fast to access as your lcal hard drive. Plus you have total control of all those CD-ROMs at once.
