I agree.  I am running a web server on a machine that was originally to
be a Email machine for some administrator.  It is a GW2000 P5-60.
Of course it has no SCSI card and the ATAPI cdrom in it dies after
a CD has been mounted around 10 min or so.  Very annoying, but I
have learned to live without the CD.  I would definately be a much
happier user if it worked...  

I wish to thank Gary in advance for the work he is going to do 
in 'fixing' the CDROM code.  (I think it was Gary.....)
