I'd love to see the ability to have IDE ATAPI drives be treated just like SCSI that has the bad taste to have IDE as its transport. Then again, I'm biased, since I have a ATAPI parallel cdrom that I'd like to see treated just like SCSI with the horrible manner to want to go over a parallel port. Justin, how possible is this with CAM :-)? Warner
