[rescue] HP optical jukebox

[Gavin Hubbard]

Hi Lads

Is it possible to do anything useful with an HP surestore 160EX optical jukebox? (32 disks of 5.2GB each = 166GB)

I saw one get passed in at an auction last year (no-one wanted to bid). Off-line bulk storage is of course very cheap these days but I'm wondering it perhaps you can replace the internal drives and convert them into CD/DVD juke boxes etc.

I suspect that getting hold of the HP library software will be a pain in the rear.

Regards,

Gavin
