: list and just buy whatever cdrom.com uses.

I always make sure that either a) the hardware is widely used inside
of core or b) that I can return it to my supplier or c) both when
getting new hardware.  I have some wonderful aha1522's hanging around
because I didn't make sure that I could return them...  However, if
things go well, they should be better supported soon (or at least work
for tapes and cdroms, which is my primary interest).
