But I think your going to be finding that to get at the IDE bus to wack it, that your going to have to be adding a bunch of things to the ATAPI driver in FreeBSD. All of this is already done in the SCSI driver and so it's a choice of whether you want to spend the extra money for SCSI or the extra time to poop out a new, debugged IDE driver with this capability added into it.
