Hi,

I was writing to ask if anyone has worked on device drivers to allow 
FreeBSD to interact with Matsushita/Panasonic CDROM model CR-581,
which is a Quad speed CDROM.  This is all I have and installing 
FreeBSD onto my system is a real pain without it.  If so, I would 
be very interested in the drivers and any other supporting files
(eg. the necessary kernel source file lines) in order to get it
up and running.

If nobody has worked on it, how much work would be necessary to 
adapt current Matsushita/Panasonic double-speed CR-562 and CR-563
device drivers to work with my model?  Is this even a remote possibility
in the near future?

Thanks,

J. Metcalf
