I am wondering what the general feelings are concerning CD-ROM writers
and FreeBSD. 

I have read several posts in the archives, most seem to favor the HP4020
which I think is now out of production. Are there any problems with the
newer model of the HP, the 6020? Also are the HP models really just
Philips drives in a HP wrapper?

Does FreeBSD only support the Philips model? And are the newer models
supported such as the 2600 and especially the 3600 CD-Rewritable? Does
anyone have any experiences with the rewritable model?

A shell script was mentioned in a couple archived messages that had to
do with burning cd-roms, is this script still around or is it just a
quick compilation of the required mkfs and fs prepping that is necessary
to burn a cd-rom filesystem? Are the procedures and this shell script
documented in the Handbook or the FAQs?

Thanks all for the help...

Regards,
Dan Riley
