I have a Panasonic CD connected to the machine thru "voice-modem" (modem and SoundBlaster on the same board). FreeBSD does not see it nor does WinNT -- I'll have to change sound board. The ATAPI cdrom (connected to the secondary IDE controller on the MB) is recognised fine. I can mount it. But if I do: du /cdrom/ports or cp -r /cdrom/ports /usr It will hang the entire machine in arbitrary point (few lines of du's output show up on the screen or few files are copied first). So, should I put in separate modem and sound-board and continue with Panasonic, or should I get an upgrade for ATAPI code (or the whole OS)? Machine is NEC's "Ready".
