Dont waste your time on the worm driver, unless you plan to upgrade it significantly. It does only support a couble of old drives that are not made anymore. The ATAPI burners are easier, they are all (well most) MMC3 compatible, so you can use the same driver for them all. (You could tweak my driver into a SCSI subsystem I guess) And yes you need support for at least the 1542 & clones before we can put CAM into the kernel for good. > For documentation, you can get the general idea for how the framework > works by looking at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/cam.html.

OK, my time is limitted too, so I'll concentrate on what I'm currently doing, then when we have CAM established and working, I'll look at it again. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end? ..
