Then again, who knows :) Well, i assume future drives might be better in this respect? Even if we manage to get seamless CD-DA support into the driver, i assume it will remain beta quality until FreeBSD 2.3. I don't care much for solutions that support crappy hardware at the cost of elegancy. If i understand it right, all the existing packages do already support this kind of hardware anyway, so it's better to direct new solutions to better hardware. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
