Hi, I have a DVD duplicator with 4 DVD drives but it does not have a USB port or any way to connect it to a computer. I would like to change the controller and install something that will allow me to connect all 4 DVD drives to a PC via a single USB cable so I can have access to all 4 DVD drives from the computer. I've been doing research on this and I can't seem to find a controller that will allow me to do this. Most of the ones I've found only allow for one drive to be seen by the computer, but I need all 4 DVD drives to be seen by the computer. Any suggestions, please advise. Thanks.

Thank you. I have found this one from Addonics http://www.addonics.com/products/ad5hpmreu.php and it seems to be what I want. However, it is the only one that I have found. There doesn't seem to be a competing product. It mounts to the back of the duplicator box and the USB connector makes all DVD drives visible to the computer. It is a bit expensive, almost $100 everywhere I look. If anyone knows of a cheaper alternative to this one, it would be great. Thanks.
