[comp.sys.ibm.pc] CD-ROM, Sony, On-Line, Silver Platter

I've just installed a couple of CD-ROM drives and now have a problem.
When searching MEDLINE with Silver Platter software you can't change
CD's without restarting.  Actually that only happens on our setup
because (we are told) Silv. Plat. is not compatible with the
controller card we have.  We have the new Sony drive but not the Sony
controller.  The one we have is from On-Line.  We had to fool Silver
Platter into thinking the CD was networked and this created the bug.
Silver Platter gave us the instru. to do this but don't know how to
change CD's without restarting.  I guess we could change controllers
but that is an expensive solution.  Any body else know of this prob?
Email and I'll summarize.  TIA
