Is optical (or
CDC_OPTICAL) a good name for this capability? After all, CD CD-R CD-RW DVD DVD+/-R(W) are all optical.
Well, I simply used something similar to ide_optical from IDE code, but I agree that it's not optimal.

That said, a better name does not immediately spring to mind (unless MOPTICAL works for you - magneto-optical seems too long).
I'll see what Jens has to say about the name. CDC_MOPTICAL looks ugly to me, and CDC_MO too short. Maybe CDC_MO_DRIVE would work if CDC_OPTICAL is not acceptable.

CDC_MO_DRIVE would be fine with me, it's right to the point. But basically I don't really care, I think it's pretty clear even if named CDC_OPTICAL.
