I didn't get anything on the newsgroup:

I have a P6-200/VS440FX/2.1.5 system in which I have tried two
different ATAPI CDROM drives (a Creative 8x and a toshiba 4x).
I get corrupt data when I read large files (like FreeBSD distribution
tarballs.)  If I repeatedly mount/md5/dismount I get different
MD5 checksums for large files each time.  If I boot W95 and copy the 
file, then reboot FreeBSD, the MD5 checksums are OK.

Since I have two IDE hard drives on the other channel of this
system (working fine on FreeBSD) and the CDROM works on W95 I am 
reluctant to think the hardware is broken.

I thought only the probing of ATAPI CDROM drives was broken.  Is
reading them (once probed) also broken, or what?
