Seems like a good approach is to attach it via a PCMCIA SCSI card and control it via Joerg Schilling's cdrecord. For hardware I'm considering the Adaptec SlimSCSI APA-1460 and the Yamaha CRW-8424-SXZ. Only limitiation is that it must work under FreeBSD 3.2 for now (though I intend to upgrade to 4.* eventually). At minimum, I believe this means I need to install the PAO patches. Can anyone attest to the sanity of this setup or provide configuration advice? Suggestions wrt other pc-card and/or CD-RW vendors also welcome. Thanks, david .............................................................................
