Someone asked for this and since I can't seem to send mail directly I thought I would post it here. Cygnet produces jukeboxes for the optical disc drive market. We currently offer three different versions in the 1800 series. Model 1801: This is a manually operated frame that can hold from 1-5 12" drives. The rest of the space is used for media storage. Model 1802: This is a minimum configuration automatic storage and retrival device. It is an 1801 with an elevator frame attached to exchange cartridges between storage and drive slots. An exchange can take from 8-12 seconds depending on the drive type (most time is spent loading/unloading and spinning drives up/down). The elevator can move at 60" per second. Model 1803: Same as an 1802 with a extra media frame attached giving a total capacity of 121 cartridges in a single drive unit with an Optimem drive (which is equal to 242 gigabytes of on-line storage). Other drives have different thickness cartridges so total capacity does vary a bit. The size of this unit is about 6 ft tall, 3 ft deep, and 6 ft long. We are an OEM company and have contracts with Kodak, Wang, and many many more.
