The worm driver won't recognise anything that doesn't identify itself as a WORM device or appear in it's internal list of known devices... I could never get cd-write to work anyway, it always errored during fixating with a CDD2000. However, I've burnt 100's of CDs with cdrecord on various drives, so my particular bias should be obvious. Works For Me (tm) on 2.2.5, 2.2.6 and -stable. Haven't tried it with-current yet, although I've been meaning to for a while. There were some problem reports with that combination a while back. You may find my web page (wittily entitled "So, you want to burn your own CDs under FreeBSD?") useful, as it details various things that don't seem to be addressed in the port and are misleading (outdated) in the README.xxxBSD file, as well as some info about the worm driver. Here's the URL: http://www.best.com/~spadger/CDR-main.html The CDR drive compatibility list at the cdrecord home page (http://www.fokus.gmd.de/nthp/employees/schilling/index.html#cdrecord) shows that the Yamaha CRW-2260 is a supported device. It should Just Work once you've set up the links to the devices... Cheers, AS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
