Yes you have identified what is causing it to not work, but you have not followed through. The next step is to assign it to someone to work on it now. Thats the whole idea of the PR system and beta testing. If burncd is not going to work in 9.0 then it should be removed from the release all together. Has any research been done to identify other system commands or ports that changing the system default from acd0 to cd0 effects?
