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? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
