Remember that this is an all-volunteer project, so people tend to write device support for device they do have, and since many developers already purchased SCSI CDROM (and not only CDROM) drives... you can guess the rest. This is not to say you weren't welcome to write a driver. :^) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
