Joel,
I mistakenly replied only to you on my previous mail.
Can you please forward my previous reply to parisc-linux mailing list
or send a copy back to me - I'll post it to the list then.

ah ok.

The IDE CDROM are pretty standard devices. Note the DMA does NOT work.
And even with PIO mode, it just barely works - enough to do an install.
So don't use it too much unless you can afford to crash your box.
At least that was my experience with 2.4.19 or so.

ok. let me apply local and try it out first. If all is well, should see
something by this weekend.
