Yes, actually the stupid thing skips whenever I eject a floppy while the
CD is spinning. On the other hand, we've a bunch of FX-810S and every
one of them works fine with FreeBSD with no hassles. I haven't had that
much luck with the other junk we buy at work -- Acer and USDrive, for
instance. Philips and Panasonic seem to do OK, as do the Mitsumi CDs.
