I currently have an older CDROM that can play DVD's. I'm looking to upgrade this to a new DVD/CD burner/player. I'm looking for an inexpensive and widely available unit that willinstall/setup painlessly on freebsd 5.3. Any recommendations ? I have a source for lite-on drives - Has anyone tried these drives ? I'd also like to use k3b as this is what I've been using on Linux. I recall having problems with an earlier version of freebsd/kde that required me to use the SCSI emulation layer to use an IDE driver. Is this still the case ? Thanks in advance, -K
