The disk-changer script simulates the mtx-changer script rather faithfully,
though it does not detect certain error conditions. Thus removing the
Autochanger resource will not get you anywhere.
The script is documented in the beginning of the file. Other than that, since
I wrote it for quickly debugging the Autochanger code, it is not supported.
Sorry, but you are pretty much on your own.
