Well, lots of people have said this. Windows certainly gets it to work, they might of course by querying the drive and realising it's a ony but I've certainly done nothing in Windows other than start up the cd player. Someone said that their Sony drives worked fine, workman has code to support a Sony drive but the FreeBSD port is broken in that it doesn't do any drive queries to find out what it is. I hacked the code so that it did do a drive query and the SCSI_INQUIRY command failed! Regardless of non-standard audio commands I suspect there's something more generic wrong if I can't even get the drive to tell me what it is. I'm open to ideas but I can't do any work on this until next weekend because I'm back at work and the box is at home. -- Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd.
