Hi,

While going through atapi.c on my 2.2.5 system, attempting to find out
what's wrong with my ATAPI Zipdrive, I found the following:

        case AT_TYPE_DIRECT:            /* direct-access */
	case AT_TYPE_CDROM:             /* CD-ROM device */
	#if NWCD > 0
		/* ATAPI CD-ROM */
	[etc]

This seems to mean that any device that is AT_TYPE_DIRECT (like the Zipdrive)
will get attached as a cdrom. Is this correct? If so, why?

Alex
