I've stuck to the format of John's so far as I can. There may have to be an
'other info' column if we are going to try to collate this info, as there
will be many cases of one-offs, I think.
It's interesting, though. The survey has made me think a bit about some
problems I've had, and things I might try to improve the issue. I had
thought, for instance that tge cd-dvd was just ready for throwing, but now
I'm not so sure that's the problem.
Spec, then:

Findings
Supermount enabled for floppy, LS120 and both cd drives.
Generally no problem, providing care taking in removing focus before ejecting.
Desktop icon for removable media seems to be a good control method.
Audigy Platinum break-out box not yet supported.
CD-DVD has never been properly recognised and cannot be scsi-emulated -
this spec makes me wonder if its position on the udma controller is a problem.
