I thought that atapicam = scsi emulation for parallel devices thru CAM? or I got this wrong? :) I'm talking about a CDRW on my parallel port.. I need to burn FreeBSD 5 and install it on an Ultra-10 d*mmit :) my other fellows "Linux admins" are making fun of how I will return to them to burn a copy of FreeBSD on their Linux boxes :/ hehe. so PLEASE HELP lol btw, how can I use burncd on the "undetected" device? :) > > -- > Scott A.
