Jordan,
  I have cleaned up my modifications to the ATAPI driver enough that
it should be distributable at least to people dying for a fix to see
if it helps.  The only section that I modified was the atapi_probe
subroutine in atapi.c and a few new defines in atapi.h.  I changed the
way the probe is done to conform with the ATAPI 1.2 standard document
SFF-8020.  I believe this driver will now support more drive types -
my drive didn't respond to the older probe code.
  I didn't know how you would prefer the code so I FTP'ed it to
ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/atapi_960716.tgz.  If there's
anything else I can do to help, please let me know.
  To those of you who responded to me saying you wanted this driver -
please let me know what your results are with it either positive
or negative.
