Thomas,

Thanks for getting to this so quickly. It's very nice. For the first
time it looks like the ATA/ATAPI-CAM combo is working better than prior
to ATAng! (Not a knock on ATAng which was a major improvement, but the
passage was a bit painful--and may still be for some.)

Now to see if this fixes the problem with the Sony CDROM on my home
system. It's been broken for some time and I have been using a Compaq
DVD for the past month, so I need to swap drives to see if it works,
yet. Whether it does or not, I will go back to the DVD when I get
finished. 

Sorry to have taken so long to reply, but we had a network problem that
has kept me very busy at my day job.
