FreeBSD already has an equivalent to the SCSI generic device -- take a look at pass(4). The only major feature of sg that's currently missing in pass is asynchronous commands. I have a set of patches that adds that support in, but I've been too busy recently with changing jobs to clean them up and submit them. As far as ATAPI-over-CAM, there's been some discussion of having ATA become part of CAM, but I don't remember what the result of it was. You might want to check the list archives. --nat -- nat lanza -------------------------------------- there are no whole truths; magus@cs.cmu.edu ------------------------------- all truths are half-truths http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~magus/ ------------------ -- alfred north whitehead To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
