I recently found one of these at a computer recycle store (very dangerous

The self-test indicates no problems, and as soon as the OS is up and
running the first tray will load automatically. If it's an audio disk then
a window displays and the first track plays - I don't have a sound card on
this system - that's another project... :(

What I'm trying to find out is how to control the dang thing! Anyone know
what the commands are for changing from one tray to another? Or, better
yet, an application that will give me all the options in one window?

It's almost certain that it will appear as 6 separate LUNs on the same device.
There's a kernel option to probe all LUNs: from `make menuconfig` you go to
'Device Drivers' --> 'SCSI device support' --> 'Probe all LUNs on each SCSI
device' then recompile and install. On the next reboot it'll find 6 LUNs on that
SCSI device and they'll be assigned to things like /dev/sr0 - 5 and you mount
the one you want. Whichever one you mount, the tray will switch to that disk.
