Handy" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: CDRs in FreeBSD? Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hey Folks, I hear periodic rumblings about CD-rom recording gizmos being used under FreeBSD. My group wants to get a CDR for archiving data with. At one point last fall, I had figured on getting the CDR from an outfit called Young Minds Inc. YMI has since gone belly-up. Where can I see the current status of CDR's in FreeBSD-land? Any advice on which units to go with? How stable are these bad boys? Anything I should consider when I get one? The alternative is to hang it off of a Sun, but that doesn't hold the same appeal for me. :-) As an aside, we're also looking into getting a Pioneer 500-CD Jukebox. Right now that is slated to hang off a sun, but boy think of the glory of putting it on a FBSD box... Happy Trails, Brian
