Once I manage to get the 4Xi probed it seems to work ok.
I tried xcdplayer and even that worked - except maybe for
volume control. This drive sure does like to send BUSY status
back to the software though, especially when the disk get
ejected! Xcdplayer could be more sane in how it handles
error returns from ioctls rather than filling the screen with
perror complaints.
Looks like I've got a lot to learn about CDROM drives.
