Can I get a recommendation on the cheapest, decent no-frills cdrom player
(SCSI, of course :) ) that works well with FreeBSD and will also allow me
to snatch audio in digital form right off a cd?  2x speed is probably
sufficient, but if 3x or 4x offer significantly better value at this
point (i.e. cost difference is minimal -- cheap is nice.) then I might
go for one of those.  Gimme a price estimate too?

TIA,
Craig.
