I can't find any instance of this information in the handbook. I remember using a CD-ROM made by EXP Computer. It was a 2x *without* a built-in soundcard. I believe the model was EXP CD-940E. It was actually an ATAPI CD-ROM with an PCMCIA IDE interface. I used this udner Linux's PCMCIA support, and I believe it will also work with FreeBSD's now, since it supports removable IDE interfaces. There's also another CD-ROM (it's either a Panasonic or Sony) that is based on a PCMCIA SCSI controller that the FreeBSD PCMCIA stuff supports. --- Donald Burr <dburr@pobox.com> *NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!* | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ#16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
