Greetings: My Acer 50X 650P CDROM drive does not seem to work. It is a replacement from an apologetic supplier who advertised a FreeBSD-complient system, and admitted an error in selling me an Asus. Is it supported under FreeBSD? Acer says it uses the E-IDE interface. I don't know if that is a variety of ATAPI interface or not. The BIOS sees it as an ATAPI CDROM. The FAQ just says that the ATAPI compatible IDE CDROM interface is supported, but that some of them may not work. This CDROM works for NT and Linux as did its prececessor. Solaris sees it and tries to boot from it, as does Linux. Nevertheless, I realize that it is likely that it is not supported by FreeBSD. I just want to check with the experts before negotiating with the supplier.
