Looking for Pioneer 1804x drivers

I have searched high and low for these drivers.
These are for an 18 disk Pioneer DRM-1804x scsi CD changer. I need to be able to put this drive on a network share so it can be accessed by Windows 2000 web servers.

What I have:
DOS versions of drivers: I can load TCP/IP stack and share.exe, but the Win2k box can only see files on hard drive share, not any of the CD-ROM's. DOS memory also a limiting factor loading IP stack and 18 shares.
MAC versions of drivers: I have gotten this to work with System 7.5 and version 1.8 of the drivers. I also have 3.05 and 4.03 MAC drivers, but they won't mount any disks in the changer. The 1.8 drivers will only allow me to mount 1 CD at a time.
If I could get this to work, I could use Dave for the PC files share.
What else I have tried:
Installing win9x on the DOS box, OS hangs when trying to access the changer.
Windows NT and Win2K: Tries to mount as a single drive, and does not see any media in the drive.
BeOS 5.0: SCSI probe see the changer and all of the drives, but does not allow me to mount a single CD.
Red Hat Linux 7 with 2.2.x kernel and 2.4: Again, OS recognized the SCSI card and changer, but will not let me mount the drives. Found code for adding support to the 2.x? kernel here Index of www.utexas.edu/ftp/source/apps/audio/xmcd-2.2 but not sure how to use it.

I also have FreeBSD 4.1 and Solaris 8, but not sure if they would work any better, as I would still need to install Samba or equivelent software for a PC share of the drives.

I have also seen listings for third party drivers, but not found them on their sites.

Any help or experiences anyone may have with this changer are much appreciated!

Thanks

I have a solution for you. I have a program that will let you mount the drives in WinME/98/95. Also you can go to www.smartstorage.com and download their software entitled jukeman. Lastly, I have two of these 1804's that I will sell you for $100 a piece.
