I am curious why Linux uses a generic IDE/ATAPI for almost all
cdroms (IDE/ATAPI) and Windows requires new drivers or seperate
drivers for each drive?
If a cdrom is IDE/ATAPI is this a standard and if so why do some
IDE/ATAPI drives work better than others?
Also is it normal for a 32x or 52x cdrom to make noise when it
spins up? I had a 32x and it seems to be dead now, and now I
have a 52x and both sound like little turbines every time they
spin up. Is this normal?
