There have been several people in the last few months talking about working
on ATAPI.  I wasn't paying much attention at the time, though.
 
At this point, lots of other OS' are supporting ATAPI.  Linux has, for
a very long time.  FreeBSD does, I guess.  Even Plan9 supports ATAPI.
One would think it would be more of a priority with the central developers
of NetBSD, since so very many PeeCees are now shipping with ATAPI CDROMs,
and the lack of support *severely* limits those people's installation
options.
