hmmm.. I guess the proper person to ask would be Thomas himself, but on:

http://www.cuivre.fr.eu.org/~thomas/atapicam/

I see patches going as far as march 2002, so I guess the 4.6 date fits
in pretty well. I *think* I followed the atapicam pretty much from
start, so that would indeed be 4.5-stable.

Can't say that atapicam always had been nice and solid. As it says on
the web page:

The only recommended way of using ATAPI/CAM is:

    * with FreeBSD 4: to upgrade to a version of the RELENG_4 branch
    * posterior to 2002-11-01 and follow the instructions in
    * /sys/conf/LINT.

YMMV, of course,
