Seems I lost my lonely ATAPI CDROM with built in changer to the eternal HW scrapyards, let it rest in peace :)
Finding a new one seems difficult so I thought I'd ask around how many still has one of these ?
I ask because the support code for those seem to have suffered bitrot to the degree that it most likely hasn't worked on -current (maybe even 5.x) for a long time, but alas I cant test that.
Now, since it seems that such devices are no longer made, and newer really caught on, I need some good reasons to keep the (broken) support in there.
I have two of these, a 4x and 6x:
acd0-3: CDROM with 4 CD changer <NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:251> at ata1-master PIO3
I still use one under 4.x but since they will not read many newer CDR's and CDRW's their usefulness is waning.
Exactly, and it is much cheaper and ALOT faster to copy those CD images to a harddisk and be doen with it.
If you would like one in order to continue supporting them, send me your address and I will have one shipped.
Thanks! I'll first decide if I want to keep the support alive for 6.0, and I'll get back to those with these drives if/when I need to get it tested etc...
