> Ummm, semi-related question, are ONLY the SCSI CD-ROM burners supported? I > happen to have ended up with my HP IDE CD-R burner on my FreeBSD box (with > room for Windows if I have to boot back to it to burn CD-R's.) There is no ATAPI CD-R support for -stable. There may be ATAPI support for the current ATA framework in 3.0, and an enterprising 2.2 user could possibly backport it, but at this point the code is still under developement. One thing becoming clear is that ATAPI CD-R's are even more touchy and susceptible to timing problems than SCSI units. They're not to be recommended for busy systems... -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
