I'm pretty sure I saw a message from JKH offering hardware to anyone who can fix DVD compatibility (some Creative Labs hardware). I have a couple questions as well: Do SCSI DVD players automatically work? I could see a problem with playing DVD movies, but perhaps not reading data. Is that what's meant about a 'cdrom' emulation mode? Since 'cdrecord' supports SCSI-DVD, at least writing a DVD-RAM should work. -- Zach Heilig (zach@gaffaneys.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
