I know about at least 6 boxes with IDE CDROM drives running recent FreeBSD (2.1R or younger). Only a single IDE CD drive didn't work and was replaced due to this fact (I recall it was an early Panasonic IDE CDROM). All others (Hitachi, Pioneer, Teac, God knows what else) 2x, 4x, 6x drives were and still are Ok -- just as Ok as any IDE device ever can be Ok ;) : -bob -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 "You may delegate authority, but not responsibility."
