It's a generic translation layer that makes an ATAPI device look like a 
SCSI device.  This is moderately straightforward (at the moment) 
because the two protocols are very similar.  (I say "at the moment" 
because the ATAPI people have made it clear they plan to diverge).

There is no such translation layer available for FreeBSD.
