|Subject: Making IDE CD-ROM driver -- major numbers needed

|Hi,
|
|I'm now working on the driver for ATAPI IDE CD-ROMs,
|and I need a major driver numbers for it.
|
|Who should I ask for?  Jordan?  Rod?
|
|Thanks in advance,
|Serge
|
|P.S. For those who are interested: the driver is already
|functioning, at least I can mount disks and read data.
|After adding all needed ioctls and testing the proper
|handling of disc change, I will commit it.
