Nope, it's actuakky pretty difficult to implement and probably not worth the hassle (at least not for anyone who'll never use that feature, sorry this is how free software works). No, I know. I'm half inclined to tackle this myself, but I'm currently too interested in spending time at my

Does anyone have a moment to explay exactly why this makes it work? I think the reason is that there is no IDE cdrom driver. there are, BS. IDE CDROM drivers have been around for like three or four years in the Linux kernel. That's approximately forever. ide-cd.c has the ollowing changelog

I think the reason is that there is no IDE cdrom driver. there are, however, lots of scsi drivers in the linux kernel, probably inherited from other *nixes (BSD?). SCSI has been around for a long time and is very popular, so that probably explains the wealth of drivers. I don't know how
