Hi,

I was wondering if somebody could answer a few questions on CD-ROM drives.
I have a Matshushita/Panasonic CR-581 4xspeed CD-ROM.  In the installation
manuals, these CD-ROMs are said to not be supported.  However, my CD-ROM is
installed in my system as an IDE CD-ROM and is connected through my IDE
interface.  I was wondering if this CD-ROM might be compatible then with 
FreeBSD's IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drivers.  If so, how would I mount it if I 
compile a new kernel with 

controller wcd0
options "ATAPI" etc

Do you think this is fruitless?

Thank you,

JM
