Just for the record, FreeBSD 2.0 does not support _all_ Mitsumi
CD-ROM drives. (Should update the FAQ.)
According to the tech support at ZEOS, the Mitsumi FX-400 supports
a new `standard' called ATAPI for connecting CD-ROM drives to
IDE interfaces. Does anyone know anything about this? Anyone
interested in writing a driver? Anyone have the necessary information
to write a driver? (I'm not above writing one myself, but it would
be a long time before I could finish it.)
