Anyway, I compiled in ATAPI support, and then tried mounting my CD-ROM drive. It worked, and I could do an ls -lR and get a directory of the whole thing. But, when I tried to execute something from it, it doesn't work. You get I/O errors. And, you can hear the laser moving back and forth, back and forth, like it can't find something. Anyway, I solved it by unhooking the first drive (a quad-speed Mitsumi) and hooking up another (double-speed Sony, CDU-55E). This solved the problem! Anyway, for those of you who are Unix device driver programmers, I thought this info might be helpful. It sounds like maybe some kind of timing is off in the wcd driver? Anyway... just wanted to toss that thought out there.
