Absolutely. The command I quoted came out of a script I used to rip
CDs on my laptop. The script was last edited last August, and has
been used extensively since then.

Yas, and this is provided by the atapi* drivers in the kernel (plus, I
presume, corresponding functionality in the drive itself).

Well, whatever the explanation, it worked under 5.1-RELEASE.

Will do, though I suspect that it may automatically include atapicam
with the other atapi stuff, such as atapicd. For instance, I have a
memory stick installed on a USB port, and I can use camcontrol on it.
That would be relying on atapicam being present, no? Anyway, it's
just laziness that stopped me from building my own kernle up to now
anyway, so I'll get to it and report back.
