Don't forget about the parallel port ATAPI drives. There are a lot of HP-7200e users out there who'd love to see a UDF implementation. Once there's a standard interface in the Uniform CD-ROM layer, and a reference SCSI implementation, I'll add the support to 'pcd'.
By the way, on a related topic, has there been any thought given to moving the SCSI/ATAPI audio IOCTLs into the Uniform layer ? There are now at least three separate instances of almost the same block of code (in the SCSI, IDE and parallel ATAPI CD-ROM drivers).
