	has been available since 2.1R.  i use one at work every day.
	requires a new kernel.  i will post the optsions that you have to
	add to the kernel config file tomorrow when i get to work.
	(here at home i have a scsi cdrom ;)


	you need to make sure that your kernel has these two
	options and the wcd0 device.  make sure that the /dev
	directory contains the wcd0c device

	options         "CD9660"                #ISO 9660 Filesystem
	options         ATAPI   #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus
	device          wcd0    #IDE CD-ROM

	brw-r-----  1 root  operator   19,   0 Dec 27 08:24 /dev/wcd0c

	here are sample boot messages:

	wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
	wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:273/4.21>, removable, iordy
	atapi1.0: unknown phase

	i dont know what the "atapi1.0: unknown phase" message means....
	does not seem to hurt anything <crossed fingers>

	mount the cdrom with:

	/sbin/mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom
