Manuel at one point gave me some rationale for not making it SCSI-like.
It seemed to basically make sense.  I think I'd still like a SCSI-like
interface, but I'm not as attached to it now as I was...

Anyhow......

The problem now is exactly _how_ to get Manuel's ATAPI code integrated.
Mark Brinicombe <mark@netbsd.org> informed me some time ago that he is
working on integrating it in a sane manner, and making an MI IDE driver
(since he needs this code for the arm32 port, as well).  Mark?  How's
that coming along?
