I have one of these drives (FX001D) that I am running with a system built
from June 26 sources.  The drive works fine.  I don't yet have the 2.1.5
CD-ROM, so I can't say whether I can reproduce Bill's problem.  If anything
was indeed broken, it had to be after June 26, or something in the
configuration on the 2.1.5 CD-ROM.

I actually have a lab with about 40 of these "ancient" drives, so I have an
interest in seeing that they continue to work.  You'll recall for a long
time that they were the only CD-ROM drive that *would* work under FreeBSD.
