I was and am a great fan of the burncd utility.
Very fast, simple and cli..

But as almost any new computer is supplied with a dvd drive this nice
program has become quit useless. It does not support those drives.

My question is: will it ever do?

I mean, cd-rom drives are losing terrain with each day passed.
Or will I be "forced" to either buy an oldfashioned cdrom drive in my
new machines? ; or recompile for atapicam ? ; or any other solution?

Maybe I ask for to much. I'm no programmer myself. I have no idea
whatsoever about the code changes needed in burncd to support at least
the burning of CD's. (dvd's are different).
