	Sorry to hear this.  I am indeed interested in the driver and
	I have a Mitsumi FX-004.  The only problem is that I have
	virtually no disk space for compilation and that both machines
	I have are used in production.  The machine with CDROM runs,
	(well, crawls to be honest) Windows as we need the MS-Office
	compatibility.  I'd love to be able to move the CDROM to the
	FreeBSD fileserver.

	I might be able to jump in, but not before 2.1 time.  I cannot
	afford diskspace for -current tree, and cannot move my fileserver
	to -current either.

	The Windows machine double boots to FreeBSD, but has a minimum
	of disk devoted to it.

	Not encouraging, I know.  Sorry :(
