Jordan, did the 6020 require custom hacking of /usr/src/sys/scsi/worm.c?
"man wormcontrol" says:
By now, the vendor/model names of ``PLASMON'' / ``RF4100'',
``PHILIPS'' / ``CDD2000'', and ``HP'' / ``4020i'' are known.
and /usr/src/sys/scsi/worm.c appears to agree.
I have access to a Yamaha CDR100 and have had mixed success without
altering my kernel. The cd-write port is able to read data images from
the worm device, but unable to write. Compiled the non-port cdrecord
1.5 and have been able to create a bootable FreeBSD 2.2.5. Wouldn't say
the Yamaha was perfect under FreeBSD, not by a long shot. Several times
I managed to get it in a state that required its power to be cycled
before it was usable again.
Any patches or suggestions to make the Yamaha work right?
I too was shopping for CD-R's this past week and found Philips CDD2600
and HP 6020's widely available but not the 4020 which is sorta endorsed
in /usr/share/examples/worm/*. Any available supported 4x writers?
