I'm looking at buying a new system which is pre-bundled.  The ones I've 
looked at have some of the newer 6x-10x drives by NEC, Panasonic, Sony, and
Acer.  Some of the NEC drives are the 4x4 versions (4x, 4-CD changer).

Does anybody know if any of them are compatible with FreeBSD, or any 
drivers have been released?  The 2.1-RELEASE version I have (January) 
doesn't mention any of them on the back cover compatibility list, so I 
was hoping something had been added in the interim.

Mike.
