Hello everybody,
I saw that adv. Pc's and monitor's are in the mod (pls don't think that i'm a noob. I just play MC 1.2.5 ^^) but why does no Adv. Disk Reader exists?

So I came to this idea ;)/>


What I think that an Adv. Disk Read can do/be
SpoilerThe Adv. Disk Reader can do/be…
-be golden
-have more card slots
-The cards called like "Reader1/Disk1/<your files>

I don't know, if this is possible but if it's posibble, it will be vere cool!

Thx for reading

I may as well do that, the API has sufficient support code.

Personally, I think its kinda a good idea, since if it could hold more disks, then making a jukebox with a computer would take less room block wise, instead of having one disk driver per disk, you would only need like 2-4 (depending on how much the Adv disk drive can hold)

I think 2 disks is a good amount, just based on how the texture looks.

I was think something more like 5, or even 4, maybe they should be able to be upgraded to add even more slots, but having a certain limit to the total amount of slots.

You don't need one per disk use a turtle. Example: CD stacking turtle
I don't know if a new disk drive is needed maybe more of turtle like block that can't move around but has a inventory that can be manipulated through peripheral calls.then it could be sued for disk stacking or item sorting.

Lol thats what I was thinking, but still it would be easier just to have the option of more space in one disk driver without the help of a turtle, or anything else.
