I have an hp4020i (on 2.1.5-R w/ J.Wunsch's patches). After some trouble with burning of CD-Rs >490MB I learned that cabling might be a problem and changed the positions of the hp4020i and the IBM disk on an Adaptec 1542CP. Now, it works w/o problems. You may want to check out http://www.cd-info.com/CDIC/Technology/CD-R/HP-FAQ.html (where I got the cabling tip from) and also http://www.cd-info.com > Do I need any software besides mkisofs, team, and > what comes in the basic FreeBSD system (driver > support, mount support for CDs, vn driver for > testing before burning, etc.)? No. The list is quite complete. (May be you forgot `find' and `cat' to test-read. :-) Except when you want to burn audio CD-Rs. I think there exists a program to convert .wav files to the CD image and then burn it with the correct block size. But neither do I remember the name of the script (cdd ?) nor have I used it.
