A workable snapshot is available on:
ftp;//sos.freebsd.dk/pub/ATAPI/*
>From the README:
This is a snapshot of my work in progress on the new ATA/ATAPI subsystem.
Please dont distribute this, only use it for testing, as it is
alpha level code which is undergoing rapid changes.
The main use of this snap is to test the support for ATAPI CD burners,
and the driver has been adapted to the old ATAPI system to serve only
this purpose.
Both ATAPI CD-R & CD-RW drives are supported, and it has been tested
with a HP7200i and a BTC BCE621E (also sold under the KISS name).
The driver might scribble various messages on the console, but
most should be harmless diagnostics. As always YMMV.
Install the new driver files new-files.tgz and apply the patches
in sys-diff, make a new entry in your configfile for the new
"acd" atapi device, config & make a new kernel.
The acd driver uses the same devicemajor as the old wcd driver, so
you can reuse the /dev/*wcd* devices. However if you use DEVFS it
will register itself under the name /dev/*acd*.
I have includes a modified version of "wormcontrol" that can talk
to the acd driver. It has two new commands "nextwriteable" that
tells the driver the next writeable block on a CDR/CDRW, used when
burning more that 1 track (for audio mostly).
Example scripts for burning data & audio CD's are also included.
The cd ripper program "cdd" is also here in a modified version
that can talk to the acd driver.
Enjoy and let me know the results...

Even more code to hack -- will it ever end?
