(One that interfaces through your sound card) Since my friends laugh and call me "Legacy Man" behind my back I thought I would put in my two cents. I have an assortment of old cdroms so I tried firing them into a 486 I have laying around to see what I could get working. I failed miserably at getting my sony 2x to work through a soundblaster 16 with sony interface under FreeBSD 2.1.5, 3.4, and 4.0. I think I know why. I tried to get a matsushita cr-563b 2x proprietary to work under the above three versions of FBSD as well with a SB16 and couldn't get any version to detect it. I happen to have a stand alone adapter for this cdrom and when I used that as an interface all three versions picked it up. I tried booting under dos 6.22 with the drive connected back to the SB16 and loaded the cdrom driver under config.sys and then did a soft boot ctrl-alt-del and the let it boot into FBSD and it picked up the cdrom. I am pretty sure that there is some part of the sound card that is not being initialized by the FBSD driver. I do not have a dedicated controller for the Sony 2x cdrom, so I cannot say for sure that the same thing is happening, but I would be willing to bet on it. This was an aweful lot of work to get a crusty piece of junk working...especially since 48x IDE cdroms that work just fine under FBSD go for about $25.
