Hi all I'm writing to this list to get confirmation
that an ide hp7200i+ cdrw actually runs in FreeBSD.
Does ANYONE actually have this running correctly? I do
know it's on the supported list, however although I
added in the kernel support and can get the drive to
appear as if it's burning, about 10-15 minutes into
the burn it COASTERS. I worked on this for quite some
time and gave up. I no longer have the burner in
FreeBSD on that box (only on my server box). I'd like
to use FreeBSD as my workstation os, but fear that my
drive will never work properly. On my last attempt my
freebsd box ran fine in every aspect but burning, and
the funny thing about the burning was that the error
messages didn't have any consistency (seems like the
error message i'd recieve was one of any number of
messages), it did seem to error at similar times
(10-15 minutes in). Does anyone ACTUALLY have this
working on their machine? I know a friend thats got
the next model up working fine, I wonder if my burners
just a bit too old. I've got an asus p5a, k6-2 500
3dnow, 128M pc100 true 8ns memory, seagate udma
8.something gig ata 33 hard drive (I dunno if I said
that right =P) a netgear fa310tx pci 10/100 netcard, a
ymf719 chipset isa soundcard, an ati xpert98, a
floppy, and an atapi cdrom. I'm really just looking
for confirmation that this drive really does work in
freebsd (not just on a compatibility list)

				Thanks l8tr2000
