Buchanan" X-Sender: brian@thought.calbbs.com To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Philips CDD3610 CD-RW drive Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I just purchased a Philips CDD3610 CD-R/CD-RW (ATAPI) drive, and want to write the necessary FreeBSD drivers and utilities to use its recording and rewriting capabilities. I've never written a driver under FreeBSD before, so I'm not quite sure where to start, other than looking at the existing wcd and worm code for ideas. I did manage to find the command specification for the drive on Philips' web site. Any tips (other than "do your debugging with the LASER *OFF*" ;) and pointers to resources would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Brian Buchanan brian@smarter.than.nu Never believe that you know the whole story.
