Hrm, how well-tested has this been? I hadn't been using the new driver because
of:

1.1 Tue Sep 8 20:57:47 1998 UTC by sos 

Add new atapi-cd driver that supports atapi CD-R/RW drives.
This is only a stop-gab solution to get atapi burner support into 3.0.

I don't know how much the code changed before you imported it into the tre,
but I was able to panic my machine using the previous snapshot of the code you
advertised on -hackers earlier in the year.

I wonder whether this isn't opening the door for loads of bug reports after
3.0.1-release.
