Some SCSI drives are reported to do this, and I have some patches on my web page to do this with (some) ATAPI disk as well. BEWARE though, this might freeze your IDE bus since our atapi code does not have timeouts. see http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/cdda980108.diffs using them, you still need to patch tosha, or better cdda, to grab the pcm files and compensate the sync problems which many drives have (don't ask for more comments on this, i am not very clear on what is the problem and how to fix it) luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
