Well, I like burncd, and I've been building a script as a front end to it and mkisofs and some id3 programs, also with amp -c -w support too for the past day or two. But burncd doesn't seem to be as featureful as cdrecord yet. For example, you can't pass arguments as to tracksize or CD-Text info. This means you can't run it with certain DAO front ends, like gnometoaster and XCD-Roast. Further, much of the CDRW software for Nix now uses SCSI commands to talk to the CDRW, even ATAPI ones. So it does things like scan the SCSI bus for device numbers, LUN numbers and so forth. From what I've been reading, FreeBSD is the only OSS OS that doesn't support SCSI emulation over ATAPI buses. I guess what I'm really hoping for is that someone out there has a kernel module or something that I can load and let my ATAPI device speak SCSI over some sort of pseudo interface or pseudo device or something. Any ideas on that? How come FreeBSD doesn't have such a pseudo device anyway? Just didn't see much use for it or something? Perhaps there are other tradeoffs with devising a pseudo SCSI device that talks over an ATAPI bus that made it undesireable? TIA! -- David S.
