The DVD drive is >=20 > cd0: <LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S 9L08> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device I had the same drive for a few days and returned it because it wouldn't work properly under FreeBSD. It didn't recognise discs that worked in other drives, ripping was real slow and it caused system or application hangups every now and then. It caused less problems on GNU/Linux, but even there ripping some problematic discs was too slow and watching them from disc without stuttering impossible. I'm still looking for a replacement, so if anyone can name a drive that properly plays or rips all discs from the Al Bundy box without issues (under FreeBSD), I'd appreciate it.
