I have a few more questions that I'd like to ask. Will there be support for any other CD-R in the near future, and does anyone have any reccomendations for recorders? In the UK recorders are still fairly expensive with the exception of the Ricoh 1420 and Pilips CD2000 (if you can find one). I would love to see support for the Ricoh as this drive is currently selling very cheaply and comes with a 2Mb cache which supposedly helps keep up a constant stream of data. Will there be any problems running such a drive from an adaptec 1505 (no DMA, aic driver)? finally is there going to be a CD-R driver that can write in mode 2 format? I have no idea what this means apart from faster recording and more data on the disk, I don't even know whether a mode 2 disk can be read by FreeBSD. Thanks in advance for replies.
