I have at least 20 Panasonic 562/563s still in service in CD-ROM server machines. They still run older versions of FreeBSD because the last time I tried to update it the matcd driver didn't work after the changes to newbus. I just noticed a couple of months ago that it worked again in 4.x and I would like to update these installations eventually and would be willing to test whatever versions of FreeBSD might get broken in order to maintain support into 5.x. Does the -CURRENT tree need to be tested now, or are patches available that may break something now, or is this future possible breakage? Later......
