Hello linux hackers

I have just finished installing the SLS distribution of linux 
over the weekend. Congratulation to linus and the authors 
of sls. You guys give hackers a good name. The points is 
SLS is now 15 disk and growing to morw than 20. Time to 
go CDROM. On that subject DAK sells a CDROM with controller
for $199. I alspo received a compuadd catalog on Aug 20
that has a Cdrom and card for $169. So the price isn't 
as steep. I know that there is a SCSI cdrom driver in development
, but they seem a lot more expensive. 
        
        $150 for the Adaptec board supported.
        $250 for the cheapest scsi cdrom.

How about the linus community agree upon one of the minimaly 
priced cdrom unix about and create drivers it. This would
create a defacto common linux cdrom drive.

I have just started playing with linux, maybe one I look 
at the code dor the current SCSI cdrom driver I can consider
trying to make my own. But I know writing unix device drivers
is not for the fain of hear :)
