It should work OK.  In the code it appears that you can attach 32 SCSI CDs
without changes.

In the MAKEDEV script (on my system anyway) it is limiting you to 7
CDS, and so you'll have to make the device entry points by hand.

I assume you want them in parallel and so that a changer isn't an option.
