Which cheap CDROM drives work on FreeBSD ? I'm using an Adaptec 1542B for
my harddrives, so I could use SCSI drives. SCSI drives seem generaly very
expensive.

I also heared reports of varying success with Mitsumi drives. Any definitive
answers ?

Please respond with accurate model name and manufacturer and if possible 
also price.

Regards
