X-Mailer: VM 6.64 under Emacs 19.34.1 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG hello all, I tried scanning the previous mail archives on the website but came up with nothing conclusive. Is there support in 3.1 (and/or -current) for DVD-ROM drives? How about partial support? I'd be talking about nothing but SCSI interfaces here so if the DVD-ROM perported to read "everything" (i.e. CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, audio, etc. etc. etc.) would FreeBSD see the DVD-ROM drive as a plain ol' CD-ROM drive? I ask because I'm building up a new machine here and contemplating whether or not to pop for a DVD-ROM drive versus a "plain ol'" CD-ROM drive. It will also have to dual boot NT for other family members so I figured maybe getting newer technology would be cool for them--I just want to make sure FreeBSD can deal with at least the CD-ROM reader portion of the drive. Any recommendations from people out there who own scsi interface DVD-ROM drives?
