I have a WORM drive, though (Plextor 4/12 Max), and I'm planning to write a WORM driver for CAM. It's likely that we can get cdrecord running with the CAM passthrough driver fairly quickly, though. This would give you the ability to burn CD's from userland. As for mounting WORM drives as CDROM drives, I can probably come up with the necessary code in the current CAM CDROM driver to make that happen. (basically, I'd need to make quirk entries for worm drives that don't respond to CD commands...if there are any such devices) Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
