ABSTRACT:
An exemplary embodiment provides for a device driver embodied in a computer readable medium. The device driver includes instructions operative to cause a programmable processor to receive a command and perform a determination as to whether the command is a drive command or a media changer command. The command is then conditionally modified, based on the determination and the command is forwarded.
