I've seen that FreeBSD supports HP and some other CD-ROM writers
under 2.1.5, but doesn't seem to support a Philips CDi 2000, which
is what a friend of mine has. I'm trying to convince him to
install FreeBSD, but before he must be sure that the CD-ROM
writer will be supported. Any chance that it may work with current
support, or the command sets are just different?

Note: I'm writing the model number from heart, so I may have
altered it somehow. In any case, it is Philips and has a 2000
in the name. The SCSI controller reports it as "IMS", instead
of Philips.
