Actually, that's why this would be the appropriate place. cdrecord is designed to do that sort of thing - it separates out the driver interface and has several already, including support for Linux's "ATAPI over SCSI". It just doesn't work with FreeBSD because our ATAPI driver doesn't make available the low-level communication it needs. But whatever. I've personally decided to give up on it and get a SCSI CD-R at some point. I'm just confused by the desire to avoid cdrecord, since in my experience, it has worked great. It also has a lot of nifty options. -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
