Greetings!
A quick question. Some of the documentation on the Web pages state that the CDRom IDE Interface is only Alpha quality (aka it may or may not work :) ) and other locations make no mention of the CDRom IDE interface being experimental.
I have a TEAC CD-56E IDE CD Rom installed in in my machine, and could substitue an NEC-46 IDE CDRom for the TEAC. My questions are
1. Is the CDRom IDE driver "experimental" or "production" quality?
2. Has anyone reported any installation or operation problems with either a TEAC or NEC CDRom and Free BSD 2.2.6/3,0?
I'm currently running Linux and would like to get a little stability back into my life! (I grew up in a BSD environonment, nuff said? :) )
