Abstract
A storage system in which a plurality of optical or magneto-optical disk jukeboxes which operate on SCSI commands are intercoupled on a network so as to provide a virtually limitless mass storage system. A network server receives SCSI format commands, encodes them to the network format and places the commands on the network bus. A firmware interface unit at the jukebox containing the requested information receives the network format data and converts it back into SCSI format for processing at the jukebox. The jukebox retrieves the data, sends it back to the interface unit which encodes it into network format and sends it back onto the bus to the network server. The network server receives the data, decodes the data and forwards it to the client which requested the data.
