I recently purchased a RENO portable SCSI-2 CDROM player made by Media Vision.
I still need to purchase the right cable (the one that came with it had a DB25
end rather than a centronics like my SCSI-2 adapter), so I asked a friend to
take it in to work in order to make sure everything worked.  He tried it under
both FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE and the FreeBSD 2.1 beta.  Under both systems, it
gave the following kernel messages when booting:

Nov 16 16:30:28 aries /kernel: (ahc0:5:0): "MEDIAVIS RENO CD-ROMX2A 2.04" type 5 removable SCSI 2
Nov 16 16:30:28 aries /kernel: cd1(ahc0:5:0): CD-ROM 
Nov 16 16:30:28 aries /kernel: cd1(ahc0:5:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0
Nov 16 16:30:28 aries /kernel: cd1(ahc0:5:0):  Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed
Nov 16 16:30:28 aries /kernel: cd present.[400000 x 2048 byte records]

Once the system was booted, he tried to access the drive.  It kept timing out
to the point that he had to reboot.  I believe his SCSI-2 adapter is configured
properly, because he has a working tape drive hanging off it.  SCSI id's were
set so that there were no conflicts.  The CDROM drive was last device on the
chain.  It was the only device terminated.

Does anyone have any suggestions that may help us to get this drive working?
