a set of files for rudimentary hsfs support (crude hack alert!) for
386bsd0.1/0.2.3 is available from ftp.Germany.EU.net:tmp/isofs_hsfs.tar.gz

Not any longer :-)

I posted some patches to xcdplayer 2.2 a while back, which included a new
user-level driver for xcdplayer plus some scsi/cd.c changes to the kernel
(involving mainly one or two new scsi commands that had the structs already in
the header files but weren't used).
I can re-post the stuff (if I can find it...) if you like.

Ignore the first one...
BTW the Toshiba 3401 is said to have special SCSI commands that enable you to
block-read the audio data. Any clue as to what to tell the drive ?
