     Hello,
     
     I am inquiring as to whether or not there have been improvements to 
     IDE CDROM device drivers since the 2.1.0 release of FreeBSD.  I 
     understand that at the time of the 2.1.0 release, the drivers were
     in their alpha testing phase.  I have a Matsushita-Panasonic CR581
     4x speed IDE CDROM at home and the drivers work beautifully with
     it.  It is connected as Master device through my secondary IDE 
     interface.
     
     My collegue has a SONY 2x speed IDE CDROM and the IDE installation
     program is not detecting his.  Are there any updated drivers at
     Walnut Creek that we should download and try?  If so, where would
     we find them and documentation on how to incorporate the new drivers
     into the kernel sources?  If not, is work ongoing?
     
     Thanks,
     
     JM
