i have a NEC 260R IDE CD-ROM.  i also have freeBSD 2.0 on CD-ROM.
from what i understand, freeBSD has no support for IDE CD-ROM drives.
so, i may have to turn to Linux (i'd rather not) if this is the case.

has anyone got a driver for my drive or am i SOL ?

p.s., if i am SOL, anyone want to buy freeBSD 2.0 on CD-ROM *REAL* cheap?

please respond to: jwm3@jwm3.org

thanks!
