FreeBSD doesn't support it specifically, at least not yet, but it should work fine as a generic IDE controller. Are you sure the CD-ROMs are jumpered correctly and working with FreeBSD in general? Have you tried them on other chipsets? There's some fixes for wayward CD-ROMs in -current, atapi.c drops right in to 2.2.2. The busmastering support does not extend to CD-ROMs and should not affect them at all. --jh -- John Hood cgull@smoke.marlboro.vt.us Predictably, they all eventually wandered away, rubbing their bruises and brushing mud out of their hair. Some went off to work for the ESA, launching much smaller rockets into low orbits, while others elected to sit on their front porches drinking Jim Beam from the bottle and launching bottle rockets from the empties.
