Hi, I have a Sony CDU928E IDE CDROM drive and would like to copy a CD-ROM. In my mind (as feeble as it may be) I should be able to use dd to create an image and write this to /dev/acd1a but this does not seem to work. I have also looked at cdrecord but the docs seem to lean strongly toward the SCSI drives. Also does /dev/racd? have something to do with this??? I can find no docs to support my theory. I shudder to have to do the Linux and the SCSI-IDE emulation that it uses. No slight to the Linux Group it is just I dont have a Linux box running and it would be a pain to build one. Via serching various news groups I have seen great success with FreeBSD burning on IDE drives but I cannot find and actual examples or what software was used. I see that Luigi stated that the new acd drivers seem to work well on the ATAPI interface but again no mention of what SW was used. Forgive me if this is in a FAQ somewhere where dejanews or the internal FreeBSD search engine does not go. L8er & Thanks John C.
