I'd rather take this one please. ;-)
But serious (without wanting to warm up this old discussion), I think
(despite my current problem with the Fireball) everybody has to agree
that SCSI generally suffers from less problems than IDE.
The most painless way to connect a CDROM is still to use SCSI. Other
devices can only be connected over the SCSI bus, for example CD-writers.
So I think good SCSI support would be quite important for RiscBSD.
