Oops! Michael just suggested that I should forward my reply to you all in case anyone else has any ideas. PS: I am capable of hacking code to fix this if need be, but I don't know where to find the documentation for the exact command that k3b is using to detect the write modes of the CD burner. I did some googling and found some SCSI-2 command reference documentation online, but it didn't go into detail in the "MODE SENSE" or "GET CONFIGURATION" commands and how they apply to CD burners so I couldn't figure out what was going on.

Thanks for the quick reply! I tried starting k3b both with and without a recordable medium. Both of these tests were performed after first rebooting the computer with medium loaded in the writer (so that FreeBSD detected it when starting up) and then rebooting with the writer empty. I got the same result. - Greg -------------------------------------------------------
