At the moment, FreeBSD does not support this device. My roommate tells me that there is a SCSI card that you can plug IDE devices into and have them work like SCSI devices, limited only to IDE transfer rates. My question is, if I should buy one, would I then be able to use my CD-ROM with FreeBSD? If not, is support for a slaved IDE CD-ROM on the way? -- Mike Digdon # Network Operation Centre # Dalhousie University Phone: +1 902 494-1873 # E-mail: digdon@snoopy.ucis.dal.ca
