[comp.sys.apollo] Juke Box??

Hello, 

I am interested in hearing from anyone who might have ideas about, 
or experience with running an optical disk juke box as part of an
Apollo network.. 

in the best case, you'll know about and have a working system you
can tell me about.. in the worst case, you'll be speculating like I 
am..


specific helpful info (?) into our setup..

   50+ DN3x00 machines currently running Aegis 9.7  networked via
       802.3 ethernet..
   1 VAX 6000-340 running  DECnet
       on a separate physical ethernet, but bridged to the domain net..
   250+ AT class / 386 AT class PCs running Ungermann-Bass networking
       software UB/XNS version.. I* connections to the VAX
   Apollo DPCC ties between DOS Coprocessor and AEGIS in each DN 3x00..
   2 Intergraph workstations
  
   all devices (machines) EXCEPT the PCs can currently use TCP/IP to
   communicate with each other..
   
   NFS software on order for the VAX, awaiting installation on the Apollos

   eventual goal is to share data hosted on an optical disk juke box
   system somewhere amongst all platforms..

   hopefully, someone knows where / if such a system (w/software) might
   be found...


thanks,
