I've been looking at cdrecord several times in order to try put in a backend that could use a do_this_atapi_cmd_ioctl directly on the device. But spending more than 15min, looking at the source, is a sure way to make you head hurt, this was so much more pleasant, and alot faster to do. Not to speak of smaller, easier to understand, the right license and whatsnot :) But by all means if anybody has the nerve to teach cdrecord how to do such a thing, I'll happily add that ioctl to the driver. However if you are talking CAM again, well .... -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
