But-I have an Atapi IDE cdrom. Linux has supported this type of cdrom drive for over a year, yet your latest version, 2.1, describes its support of this type of drive as being of "alph" quality. I was wondering when this situation will be corrected. Atapi IDE cdrom drives are not exactly new technology. Thanks Bill
