Will there be a problem with the already- >ordered 6020i? If there will be, how can I help to solve it? Joerg is sort of the CDR-meister, and I've worked with a few of them myself. If it doesn't probe as a worm drive right off, you'll need to fiddle with things in /usr/src/sys/scsi/scsiconf.c to get it to come up as the right sort of drive. If the commands to talk to this drive haven't changed, that may be all you need -- just pretend it's a 4020i when you try to talk to it later. Joerg may come back with more detail on this, but I don't know anything about the new drives. Good luck, Brian
