I can successfully burn both audio and data CD-R's, and CD-RW's, under FreeBSD using an HP 8200i (the 7200i's "big brother"). I have also heard success stories from people who use 7200i's, so I know it works. First, you really should be running 3.2-RELEASE or later. The ac driver under 3.x and 2.2.8 had bugs that would cause the cd-writer to not burn properly. Now, you need to be using the "acd" driver, *NOT* the "wcd" driver. The "wcd" driver is deprecated and should no longer be used. So the relevant kernel config lines should read: (alter as appropriate for your setup) controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff # primary IDE controller options ATAPI # Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC # Do it without LKM device acd0 # IDE CD-ROM Now, the drive should be Master. I had problems when it was set to Slave. Reboot and make sure the /dev/acd0* and /dev/racd0* devices exist, if not use MAKEDEV to create them. Also make sure the device probes properly. You should see lines similar to this upon bootup: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff on isa wdc0: unit 0 (atapi): <Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8200/1.0f>, removable, acc el, dma, iordis acd0: drive speed 4134KB/sec, 2048KB cache acd0: supported read types: CD-R, CD-RW, CD-DA, packet track acd0: supported write types: CD-R, CD-RW, test write acd0: Audio: play, 256 volume levels acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray acd0: Medium: no/blank disc inside, unlocked pay close atention especially to the "supported write types" line - if it doesn't exist, then for some reason the system isn't recognizing it as a CD writer. Use the scripts in /usr/share/examples/atapi as a guide. When burning a disk you MUST use the "racdXc" device (ex. /dev/racd0c) , so for example, use "burndata acd0c <iso-image-file>" Hope this helps out -- if not, please feel free to e-mail me and I'll do my best to help out. --- Donald Burr <dburr@pobox.com> | PGP: Your *NEW* WWW HomePage: http://more.at/dburr/ ICQ #16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
