can't do. As a matter of facts, I removed all screws on my bloody 
Fujitsu-Siemens Notebook, but the cdrom isn't removable ...

in the end. it doesn't matter, right ?
I got my FreeBSD up and running again as BETA7 ... and now, lets wait 
for some patches.
I would contribute, but I'm not able to do anything in C ;)

To sos@ who seems to do the most stuff in ata, I'm available for testing 
as soon as there are some patches around :)

best regards,
Marian

PS.: This issue is a definite showstopper for me in regards to the 
upcoming 5.3-release. I hope it can be fixed before!
