Plasmon RF4201, HP 4020i/6020i (the 6020 [without `i'] requires a minor patch), Philips CDD2000/CDD2660. Probably more that are compatible to the mentioned. > It needs to support ISO9660 > (obviously) with rockridge extensions for long filenames. That's not a feature of the driver. It's a feature of the mkisofs program (third-party software) used to prepare the image you gonna burn onto the disk. Unlike certain other systems, FreeBSD supports a strong layering in the functionality, divided into the device-driver for low-level IO handling, utility programs to control the driver (wormcontrol), and a user interface to handle all this. The latter isn't very mature by now, you can find it in /usr/share/examples/worm. (There's also a port named cdwrite which follows another scheme.) -- 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. ;-)
