Folks,

I've stumbled onto a CD-R drive that I'd like to thunk
into my FreeBSD box.  I know little about it and haven't
the slightest clue what SW I need for it.

This is an external "Smart and Friendly" CD-R 2006 Plus.
It's got a normal centronics-like SCSI connection with
external terminator.

I think I'm going to plug it in along side my external
SCSI 4mm HP Jetstore 2000 tape drive.

Am I confused to think that the hardware aspects of this
should "Just Work"?  What, if any, SW will I need?  I'd
like to construct a large file system and thunk a whole
bunch of stuff like tar files onto a CD and be able to
mount it as a file system later.  Things like that.
Suggestions?  I don't have a clue where to even begin.

As a last resort, I could instead move all this SCSI
crud to a Winblows 95 box and do it there if needed.

Thanks,
jdl
