Has anybody managed to get 2.1.0 RELEASE to recognize the Mitsumi
FX300 ATAPI IDE CD-ROM?  I've been trying all sorts of hardware
rearrangements and boot configurations but with no success.
My system is a 486DX33 with 8M RAM, one 210M IDE hard drive, one
1.1G EIDE drive, and I have the two hard disks connected to the
primary controller on the EIDE card, and the CD-ROM connected to
the secondary controller.  This works with DOS, with the CD-ROM
in either slave or master configuration.  I've tried both master
and slave, different combinations with the two hard disks, disabled
all non-essential devices during boot, but still no success.
Any ideas?
