I feared as much. Would this be the ATAPICAM (?) stuff done for 4.6? OTOH, I backported the ICH sound support to 4.3; I'm not afraid of tinkering with the kernel. But p'raps this comparison is apples and oranges in terms of complexity. > It would be far easier to upgrade the system to something newer like > at least 4.7 where the support is already in... I realize this, of course. I'm hesitant to do this because some of my hardware is pretty old now, and I fear that the newer ATA/ATAPI sub- system may not like some of my hardware. I do recall quite a few posts about problems with the newer subsystem, but then again, quite some time has passed now. Lemme ask you this, then: Given a FBSD 4.5 system, is the CAM xpt module patch (T. Quinot) and cdrecord a [more] viable option? Or am I basically SOOL?
