I have a 2x NEC 260 which is a known rogue.  It was one of the very
first ATAPI drives on the market and doesn't quite meet the final draft
version
of the spec.  It is a slave on the second IDE interface along with a hard
drive
as the master device.

It complains a little during the boot of FreeBSD 2.2 Alpha.
"wdc1: unit1(atapi):<NEC        CD-ROM DRIVE:260/.1107, removable, dma,
iordis 
atapi 1.1: invalid command phase,ireason=0x0,status=50<ready,opdone>,error 0,

Surprisingly, it still seems to work okay.  I was able to mount an old 2.1R
cdrom
and cd around on it okay.  I'm not able to do to much more as this is a 
Windows box and the holographic shell doesn't have many tools to work with.
My dedicated FreeBSD box doesn't have a cdrom.  I would be willing to part
with
it in about 10 days time.  I can UPS it to anywhere in the continental U.S.A.
or even Canada at my expense.  Finland is straight out ;)
