Hi,
due to the fact that many cheap OEM CD-writers seem to be based
on the same drive as the ACER 32x8x4 and old cdrecord versions
will only write in -dummy mode using this drive I offer a
new version with a workaround for the firmware bug.
We are now only a few releases away from the final libscg that includes
SCSI low level command transport.
cdrtools-1.10a04 added significant new features to the SCSI transport.
If you have wishes/hints for remote SCSI, please send me a mail.
All:
- Sixth phase of libscg restructuring
It seems that we don't need to change much anymore...
- Autoconf test for caddr_t & dadr_t
- printf %p format for 64 bit architectures corrected.
Rscsi:
Cdrecord:
- Impelemented workaround for a firmware bug in ACER drives:
The ACER drive:
Vendor_info : 'ATAPI '
Identifikation : 'CD-R/RW 8X4X32 '
Revision : '5.EW'
Will not return from -dummy to non-dummy without
opening the tray.
This caused cdrecord to write all disks in -dummy mode if
used ith this drive.
The drive above seems to be a widly used OEM drive so this is an
important change.
- Fixed some typo's in the on-line help
- Updated README.multi
Cdda2wav:
Readcd:
Mkisofs:
- Print an easy to parse string to stdout when called with
-print-size
Now the following simple shell script will work:
cdblocks=` mkisofs -print-size ... 2>/dev/null `
mkisofs ... | cdrecord ... tsize=${cdblocks}s -
