All such patches are maintained on ftp.netbsd.org in pub/NetBSD/arch/i386

Possible, but unclear. There is an outstanding issue, which is that
the ATAPI code apparently should really share most of its subsystem
with the SCSI code, and operate as a SCSI translation layer, and this
work has not been performed yet. At the very least, though, there will
probably be a well supported set of ATAPI patches for 1.3
