Hi,

I'm having severe problems with accessing my Mitsumi FX001D CD-ROM
since upgrading from FreeBSD 2.1.0 to the latest SNAPS.

All I'm getting is

mcd0a: Timeout while reading

style messages every time I try to read a file larger than about a K
from a CD-ROM.  This problem occured during the initial install,
necessitating an install from a DOS partition and has remained despite
the fact that I rebuilt the kernel, removed all other non-essential
cards from my machine, fiddled with the jumber settings of the board
and the kernel configuration.  None of the above made the slightest
bit of difference.  

Any ideas?  Has anybody else had this problem?  The driver source
looks relatively straight-forward, I may have a go at hacking it..

Tony.
