I did have a Mitsumi single speed CD-ROM drive on my massive 20 Mhz
80286 back in 1993. It came with an own ISA interface card, so I think
it probably used some proprietary protocol instead of ATAPI.
Funnily enough that thing did faithful service until 2007 when it

Actually, there were supposedly USB host controllers manufactured for the ISA
bus instead of PCI, but I've never actually seen one. But USB protocols assume

I ran one more short check with dosbox.
