Are they reliable (where "reliable" goes by -current terms obviously)? I finally am in a position to test them with a new workstation that has IDE disks, so I thought I'd give it a go. Also, I was trying to set up the CD player on this workstation and had a difficult time with the "atapicd" vs. "acd" stuff, so I finally just went back to the old w* stuff. Basically, LINT mentions atapicd0, but both devices.i386 and majors.i386, as well as /dev/MAKEDEV mention acd. Any comments or insights are welcome.
