I was just indicating the newer drives we have are working..
I am forwarding this to the forum.
There is obviously some sort of problem.
Thanks for your reply.

I disagree that newer drives seem to work. Both of the drives we've had
trouble
with arrived in new computers last week.
The 52x AOpen CD-952E/AKH and an AOpen CD-956E/AKH both suffer
READ_BIG failures on FreeBSD installation.
Mitsumi 56x CD readers work fine on the same CD.

Hello.
I have seen a few threads with regards to having a problem with
ATAPI cdroms, on 4.6.rcx, and I also have the same problems..
I have several different hardware configurations that I have tested this
with, as well as versions..
4.5 was the last version that worked across the board..
4.6 RC2 and RC3 both have the exact same problem reading
cdroms, both commercial and inhouse burned..
Newer drives appear to work. I have several ACER and Toshiba
40X and 52X that refuse to read (beyond a directory listing).
Error: READ_BIG command timeout - reseting
It appears this problem began after ATA was mfc..
Not sure why there is not more noise with regards to this, however
I do agree it to be a "Major Problem".
