That drive is a joke, I'd never recommend it for data you care for.. However I still have it on my TODO list, it just keeps getting pushed further and further down on it... The ATAPI version is somewhat supported, ie you can access it, but there are no filemarks (the drive doesn't support that) and there is no handling of media errors (the drive doesn't support that either). Other than that it can be used :) -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
