The docs didn't point explicitely to wormcontrol(8) or I didn't find them right away ;-). However, I'd still prefer to use cdrecord, since it supports much more options and seems IMHO more flexible. >ATAPI is SCSI commands sent over IDE transport. >The natural way of implementing >this transport is to add a IDE specific hostadapter driver to the SCSI >subsystem.

What would be the best FreeBSD-way to access such a IDE hostadapter over the SCSI subsystem so that cdrecord would work? Isn't the scsi-passthru 'pass0' device appropriate for this? Maybe a KLD-module would help? Is someone working on it? A low-level access to SCSI and IDE would probably also be useful for other programs besides cdrecord as well. -Farid. -- Farid Hajji Broicherdorfstr. 83, D-41564 Kaarst, Germany Phone: +49-2131-67-555, E-Mail: farid.hajji@ob.kamp.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
