Subject:   DVD-ROM drives -- support in 3.1?

hello all,

I tried scanning the previous mail archives on the website but came up with
nothing conclusive.

Is there support in 3.1 (and/or -current) for DVD-ROM drives? How about
partial support? I'd be talking about nothing but SCSI interfaces here so
if the DVD-ROM perported to read "everything" (i.e. CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, 
audio, etc. etc. etc.) would FreeBSD see the DVD-ROM drive as a plain ol'
CD-ROM drive?

I ask because I'm building up a new machine here and contemplating whether
or not to pop for a DVD-ROM drive versus a "plain ol'" CD-ROM drive. It will
also have to dual boot NT for other family members so I figured maybe getting
newer technology would be cool for them--I just want to make sure FreeBSD can
deal with at least the CD-ROM reader portion of the drive.

Any recommendations from people out there who own scsi interface DVD-ROM
drives?

Thanks,

-Jr
