Well it was hard to find information.... google did not list your page. The new code is a step into the right direction as it allows e.g. to use the new cheap DVD writers which are ATAPI only.... Here is the new parts from README.FreeBSD: /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Important notice for ATAPI support on FreeBSD: A long time it was not possible to decently write CD's using ATAPI drives on FreeBSD because ATAPI was not supported in an orthogonal way on FreeBSD. These days (in the mid of november 2001) first ATAPI support for FreeBSD is available as patch. Please read: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=136602+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-current/20011111.freebsd-current and get the FreeBSD kernel patch from: http://www.cuivre.fr.eu.org/~thomas/atapicam/ Thanks to Thomas Quinot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for the patch. We tested the patch with a collegue today (23.11.2001), here is the result: - From our tests, it compiles with FreeBSD 4.x and FreeBSD current (5.0) but does not boot with FreeBSD current so we used 4.x for our tests I hope that Thomas Quinot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Kenneth D. Merry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> will help to make it work with FreeBSD current soon. - The Author of the patch, Thomas Quinot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, observed that it runs on *some* -CURRENT machines and hangs on *some* -STABLE machines so you max whant to test what works best for you. - It does not run the SCSI commands in silent mode so the ATAPI low level code prints unwanted kernel messages when you start cdrecord. - cdrecord runs without problems so far it has been tested! You need to apply the patch, change your kernel configuration to include options ATAPICAM and then recompile install and boot the new kernel. Make enough /dev/pass* devices and start testing..... /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ And here is the new parts from README.ATAPI: /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ - FreeBSD: NO for the current default kernel. Yes, if you install a kernel patch from Thomas Quinot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> See http://www.cuivre.fr.eu.org/~thomas/atapicam/ and README.FreeBSD /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ J�rg EMail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) J�rg Schilling D-13353 Berlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] (uni) If you don't have iso-8859-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) chars I am J"org Schilling URL: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/usr/schilling ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
