jukebox
A term synonymous with optical disk library or autochanger. This type of optical storage device is often
referred to as a “jukebox” because when a file is requested, the disk containing the file is found, inserted into the drive,
and the requested information is sent to the host computer system, similar to the way a musical jukebox finds a record
and moves it to the turntable when a song is requested.
jukebox controller
The part of the jukebox that controls the sending and receiving of SCSI commands and controls the
disk transport mechanism.
low-voltage differential SCSI
A differential SCSI that uses lower voltage swings and is less susceptible to noise than
previous differential SCSI signalling. LVD enables faster data burst rates and longer cable lengths. This form of differ-
ential uses 3.3V signal levels.
