I'm using a Promise Controller PDC40518 (SATAII150 TX4) and got a 
Samsung DVD-Writer SH163A a few month ago and since then I'mwaiting for 
ATAPI support on this driver (sata_promise).
I'm wondering what is missing on this driver, that it defines the 
NO_ATAPI flag.

P.S. I don't have access to the internet, but I'm willing to support 
developing this driver.
