Google (filtering out stuff from Sun and Sony) turns up a few hits for CMD 
SCSI CD jukebox and tape silo controllers - so rather than disk, it could 
be for something like that.. Maybe dumping the firmware (if Ian has 
suitable kit) and trawling it for human-readable strings would yield some 
useful info?
