You could have asked before, and we would have told you before: the
ATAPI code was identical to 2.1.5.  2.1.6 was targeted to people like
ISPs, and their #1 is not to operate an ATAPI CD-ROM drive.

2.2 is said to be way better in this respect.  I've even seen it to
work with some Mitsumi drive where DOS couldn't work with in this
particular machine. =:-)  So much for the ``ATAPI *standard*''...
