Perhaps the driver is therefore working well enough to be considered
beta?

Some of the willing helpers (me :-) have IDE CD ROMs that have worked
since the very first atapi.flp, which would *normally* be a good

Finally, as ever, many of the people with spare machines for running
unstable -current code avoid IDE like the plague.  I bought my only
IDE CD ROM drive under duress ...
