One is that I've got a machine that I've got an older Pinnacle Micro rcd-1000 cd recorder. This was one of the early 2x recorders, from the time when they only reported themselves as Type 4 devices, unlike most modern ones that report themselves as Type 5 devices which lets them be used as normal cd drives easily. Is there any way to get this drive to work using the cd driver under cam? I don't have any real need to use it as a cd recorder under freebsd, but being able to read from it would be very useful. Running camcontrol devlist shows me: vision# camcontrol devlist at scbus0 target 2 lun 0 (sa0) at scbus0 target 4 lun 0 (cd0) But while booting cd0 is never listed in the boot messages (sa0 is definitely listed there). I also never seem to be able to mount anything on it, getting device not configured errors (yes, I've made the /dev/cd devices). My other question is is there any document describing exactly what things you need to enable in the config file for cam? Obviously I need to enable the driver for my scsi card, the sa driver for the tape drive, and the cd driver for the cd drive, but what about the other ones? Camcontrol seems to require xpt, and there's also a pass device, but what are these and what would you need them for? The lint file doesn't seem to contain any info on them, and there's no man pages for them.
