It's actual usage is a bit tricky, but once you figured out (and recorded the various flags in a script), it sorta works. FreeBSD-current (including the March SNAP) has early support for CD-R devices. I consider it between alpha and beta quality, but i know it's working for several people. The HP 4020i and the Plasmon RF4100 are currently supported, but the code is written to be extensible, so if you've got another device _and_ the SCSI reference manual from its vendor, it should be a matter of a few hours to add support for it. (Note that Yamaha seems to be picky in giving away their document- ation. Unless you're pretty sure that you will get it from them, better buy something else.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
