The Ripzilla is a 14 bay SCSI tower that is able to rip 40 CDs at a time. There are 2 linux boxen that each are connected to 7 of the drives in the SCSI tower. I bought the SCSI tower and the 8 Nakamichi Mj-5 5 disk CD changers on eBay. I then had to convert the 50 pin SCSI into something that could be attached to my SCSI cards. My amazing machinist friend prepared a couple of mounting plates for my pin converters and then I mounted them on the outside of the SCSI case.
First I turned multi-LUN support on in my SCSI cards. I then made a little bash script that would rip all 40 CD’s at the same time. Once I click rip, abcde mounts the first 8 CD’s and off it goes. If you want to rip a lot of music CD’s at the same time, you know who to call. 
The Ripping Script
This is probably the most hackish script that I have ever written, but it has been a really long while since I have done anything with bash, and this is the only way that I could think to do it. Basically script.sh links to script1.sh, script2.sh, script3.sh, and script4.sh. Yes, I know that that is a terrible way to do things, but this way I can start the ripping in all 8 changers at the same time and then switch through the changer AND I get log files ;). If you want to see some more pictures of Ripzilla, there are a bunch on my gallery.
