Hello all!

I'll get a phase-change dual drive in the next days. It's the Panasonic
LF1004AB / Plasmon PD2000i / NEC PD ODX1 (they're all the same, manufactured by
Matsushita in Japan).

I remember somebody mentioned problems with this drive under RiscBSD.
Do these problems persist? What exactly are the problems?

Speculation: The drive has two LUNs, one for managing PD media and one for
reading CDROMs. Maybe that's the problem? But this can be switched off (MAC
mode), has this been tried?

I hope somebody can shed light on this.
