The only two supported recorders so far are the HP SureStore (Fred Cawthorne, Jordan) and the "Plasmon" (Joerg). To support a new writer you'll need the SCSI interface spec for the device and -current. It should not be too hard given that, especially if the RCD5020 happens to be based on the same Philips "engine" as the other two. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
