[Okay, this isn't actually a question; so shoot me...]

  With all the complaining about IDE CDROMs that's been going on, I thought
I'd relate my highly positive experience with mine.
 
  I have a Mitsumi FX400, and it's been completely trouble-free under 2.1R.
But something surprised me tonight. I had the WC CD mounted, and installed
a port. Some time later, I pushed the eject button, and nothing happened.
It was still mounted, so it refused to eject it. Granted, the sudden
disappearance of a read-only filesystem shouldn't be the cause of any
major corruption, but I _liked_ the idea that it wanted me to nicely
unmount it before letting me pop out the CD. Maybe I'm weird (well, maybe
not _maybe_), but I thought this was a nice thing.
 
  Keep up the good work.
