Well, shortly after this, Serge Vakulenko returned from the dead as it were and said that he'd be happy to continue developing the ATAPI code. He also requested 2 more IDE CDROM drive models for testing, and I'm currently trying to get these purchased and sent on to him. He also indicated that the NetBSD driver wasn't quite the equal of his in that it didn't support audio. This seems a reasonable point, and I'm willing to give him his shot if he's willing to come back and develop the driver some more. Nonetheless, if someone would like to incorporate the NetBSD code as a hedge against future problems, I'm certainly not opposed. It would also greatly increase the chances of convincing a committer to bring it into -current if someone else did the preliminary legwork of integrating it from the slightly different NetBSD device framework. :-) Jordan > Whatever happened to the idea of taking NetBSD's ATAPI CD-ROM driver code > instead of the alpha-quality driver that we have now?
