If you look at the underside of a DDS cartridge, you'll see a number of small holes of differing depth on the rear edge (away from the drum). These tell the drive what kind of cartridges. > 4. Any leads to usable FreeBSD audio editing software? No. You could take a look in the Ports Collection. You might also like to bounce this message off FreeBSD-multimedia.
