While 512 MB is still way above normal, 128 MB isn't. Quite some come even
with 256 MB. From my judgement, I'd say that the majority of PCs which will
be bought this year will have at least 128 MB - just have a look at how much
RAM Windows XP and/or Windows 2000 require, and you'll see how this comes.

And this makes sense. If most (all?) of the *CURRENT* CD Roms support
ide-scsi, and if ide-scsi doesn't have any bad side effects for *CURRENT* CD
Roms, than by all means: Make this the default, so that cd writing get's
easier to setup!

Well, I could care less about Open/Close/Lock tray, but the other features
are much more important, IMHO.
