Hi,
I've back-ported Chris G. Demetriou changes to the IDE/ATAPI system to 1.3.
This add support for isapnp and PCMCIA IDE controllers, and for ATAPI
'floppy' drives (as Iomega ZIP or LS120). The diff file and a precompiled
GENERIC kernel are available from
ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/atapi-1.3 (should be on its mirrors soon). 

Please report any success or failure. If I get enouth reports this could
eventually go in the 1.3 branch.
