Should probably add USB drives here too, since they seem to be getting
more common:

I don't think we need to mention Fibre Channel here ... I'm not
convinced there are any FC CD-ROM drives in existence, and if there are,
they're sufficiently uncommon to not produce bug reports.

Also, should we perhaps add DVD drives here?
