Just wanted to report that I added Serge's ATAPI code version 1.3 to my
2.1.0-STABLE kernel (as block device 19, character device 67), and it
works perfectly for both data (597K/sec, 18.7% CPU usage to copy a 45 meg
file to /dev/null) and audio CD's on my Mitsumi FX400 quad-speed, and both
my Western Digital and Conner hard drives are still working. Here are the
kernel probing messages:

Has anyone reported bugs with the ATAPI support failing for IDE disks?
If so, which version are you using? If these problems have been
resolved, I would like to see IDE CD-ROMs supported in the GENERIC 2.1.0
kernel (you'll sell more Walnut Creek CD-ROMs for sure :-)
