I do not particularly care for the self-advertisement of Joerg for his own software, but at least the last sentence is not true. On FreeBSD, exposing ATAPI devices as SCSI is just a choice that the user is free to make (or not). The use of the atapicam module or kernel option is just that, entirely optional. Also, atapicam may have at least as many problems with particular hardware/software combinations as burncd, so YMMV. I for one use burncd and I am perfectly happy with it. Note: One other reason people used to prefer "cdrecord" was that it was a standard staple on linux, and so a lot of pretty GUI frontends were written for it that do little more than call cdrecord with the correct arguments. For me, this is not important, burning from the command line just works(TM). -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary
