I should have been more clear. I know that the drivers we have are OSS.
But, I’d like to see some additional driver choices for the CD-ROM support.

Now, this is interesting… While doing some tests on my 486, I discovered that
UDVD2 is now working with that DVD drive. That machine has a
3COM 3C509B NIC (the other machine has a 3C905B… confusing) and has
had all it packages updated directly from the repository. That leaves me to 
wonder if UDVD2 now has support for it.  Or, it might have been some issue 
other than that driver. Or, maybe with me messing around with jumpers on the 
VLB card I fixed a conflict. No idea. That machine was in a closet for decades. 
It could have the hardware being slow to wake back up. After all, it boots and 
runs fine. But when docked, I can’t reboot it without leaving it off for a 
while. 
It could be a thermal issue. But as long as I don’t shut it off or reboot it, 
it will 
run fine indefinitely. Could be a config conflict, and must wait for all the 
caps 
to drain. IDK and really don’t feel like taking the time to figure it out.
