I found the so-called "ATAPI/CAM" interface a couple of weeks ago when
encountered the reported DAO recording problems with burncd(8).  Now I'm
using cdrecord(1) and cdrdao(1), installed from packages.

The code is available at:

http://www.cuivre.fr.eu.org/~thomas/atapicam/

According to the published patches and information available the code
is six months old, at least, and has been recently committed to CVS.
The patches merged *flawlessly* and they're a great contribution to the
kernel -- it was indeed a missing component.

Merci beaucoup, Thomas.

The supported drive list seems to be rather outdated/incomplete.  My
Sony drive is not in the list and works pretty well with burncd(8) with
the only exception of DAO mode audio discs.  From what I've read, most
recent ATAPI drives should work reasonably well.
