Hi ... I am about ready to plunk down the money for a CD burner. I am wondering if others have a lot of experience using 3.2 with ATAPI based CD burners and if there are any drives which are specifically recommended. I have heard good things about the Yamaha SCSI drives, but as of this moment I do not have support for SCSI in my 3.2 box. I have an older 2.2.8 box which does have SCSI, but I am not inclined to upgrade the older 2.2.8 box and I am under the impression that none of this stuff works well pre-CAM anyway. So I am wondering if the non-SCSI cd burners are worth the trouble or should I just plunk down the extra money for a SCSI adapter [2940UW probably] and get the Yamaha? Is there anything special I need to do to the 3.2 release besides the following [recommended in cdrecord 1.8 README.FreeBSD]: options "P1003_1B" options "_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING" options "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L" Note that I am not planning to upgrade the 3.2 machine in any major ways because I am about ready to get a new PC and stick 4.0/4.1 on it. I want to use my 3.2 box as a backup slave (among other tasks). Thanks very much in advance. --David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
