When I last used cdrecord (on Solaris) I remember finding that if I tried to write with a speed that was too high for the media type (i.e. 2x on a 1x CD-RW writer) that the drive (an older Yamaha) did the right thing so you should be able to set the higher speed globaly. The only problem was that cdrecord didn't do the right thing so the time estimates were bogus. -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
