The best would be to port cdrecord.
Cdwrite is daead for a year. At the end of this year there will be
no CD-Recorder on the market that will work with cdwrite.
It will be much better to port cdrecord. Cdrecord has a layered design
and cdrecord-1.4 will compile on the fly on netbsd if you install the
make file extensions from newest makefiles-1.1 beta.
You only have to create a SCSI transport layer to allow cdrecord
to be used on netbsd. Once you did that, you will be able to use all
new CD-Recorders, that later versions of cdrecord will support without
doing any further work for netbsd. For a quick help on how to do this,
read the README.porting file in the cdrecord-1.4 distribution.
Cdrecord is on: ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord
Makefiles is on ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/makefiles
If you port cdrecord to netbsd, you will be able to use
Sformat to. Sformat is the most interesting SCSI disk formatting
analize and repair utility for UNIX.
Have a look at star-1.0 and sdd-1.22 too. Both will compile if you install the
latest makefiles beta for the missing make rules for netbsd.
Star-1.1 will be out next week. Star is the fastest tar backup system
for UNIX. It uses a FIFO to keep the tape streaming. Ihas many other improvements
on GNU tar - have a look at it. (star Was first written 1982-1986 and is older
that GNU tar).
