I have certainly had burcd= =20 hang (unkillable) while growisofs and cdrecord et al work fine. It would be OK if you could compile a version of cdrecord (for example) tha= t=20 could burn to both SCSI and ATAPI devices without atapicam. I believe someo= ne=20 wrote patches to teach libscilly to talk to ATAPI devices directly but you= =20 have to choose it OR CAM, you can't have both in the same binary. While atapicam is a bit of a kludge, it does provide compatibility with a w= ide=20 range of binaries that people use in leu of them supporting the ata code :) =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart1930801.4lJXgg99Tn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCQMXk5ZPcIHs/zowRAilSAJ99C6+W3d3NdhfksVTo8l/l4OI9nwCgj8WN ieI/CkMGuXITT8eNwLun0Es= =/5on -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1930801.4lJXgg99Tn--
