I haven't used these drives under FreeBSD. However I have under
SunOS and OS/2. As long as you aren't too demanding and are willing to
be reasonably well behaved about its usage (e.g. don't access more than
one disk at a time, etc...), then you can do okay without any special drivers.
Each CDROM disk is addressed as a LUN on the same SCSI ID. So you
just create entries with lun 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. You can then mount them
all separately.
Just don't do something stupid, like start up two processes each of
which look at different drives (thrash/swap/timeout/hang...)
