I just installed an HP Surestore CD writer in my FreeBSD-2.1R box.
I have a couple of questions:

1.
 It is probed like a regular scsi CD rom, i.e. :
(ncr0:6:0): "HP C4324/C4325 1.20" type 5 removable SCSI 2
cd1(ncr0:6:0): CD-ROM cd present.[330928 x 2340 byte records]
 Is this correct??  Will I be able to issue scsi commands to the cd1 
 device?  (i.e. shouldn't I be using the worm device to write CD's)

2. I can mount a cdrom, and it seems to work fine, but it is slower than
  my 2x toshiba cdrom drive.  I thought this thing was supposed to read
  at 4x speed.

3. When I initially tried to mount a cdrom, I got a bunch of scsi
  error messages.  Then, it seemed to mount fine the second time I tried it.
  After I moved it to scsi ID 6, it was fine.  Maybe it didn't like
  something when the other devices were accessed right after it was during
  the probe?  Maybe it is a priority thing?  Any ideas??  Here's the log:
Jan 24 11:55:24 jjarray /kernel: ncr0:4: ERROR (80:140) (8-2a-0) (0/13) @ (544:900b0000).
Jan 24 11:55:27 jjarray /kernel:        script cmd = 910a0000

Jan 24 11:55:42 jjarray /kernel: , retries:4


Anyway, I am going to try to play with this cd writing perl script after my
2.1 gig disk comes.  I suspect I will be doing alot of tests with the laser
off (:  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Fred.
