<Sect2><Title>Is the <Emphasis>insert your brand/model here</Emphasis> IDE CD-ROM drive supported?</Title>
<Para>
Yes, of course it is. Linux supports the IDE interface used by all
modern IDE CD-ROM drives. It has been like this since kernel version
1.1.85.

</Sect2>
<Sect2><Title>I can't seem to find a driver for my IDE drive in the kernel source?</Title>
<Para>
Unlike for the older proprietary drives, there isn't a specific driver
for each model of ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM drives. All drives conforming to
the standard should work with the ATAPI CD-ROM driver included in the
standard Linux kernel.

<Sect2><Title>I'm having problems with my CD-ROM on Red Hat 7.1</Title>
<Para>
You may be running into an issue with hardware that does not support
DMA (Direct Memory Access). RedHat ships a highly tuned version of the
Linux kernel which enables DMA on selected IDE controller chipsets.
Information on this issue can be found at
