The better way to burn a cd's under the new interface is cdrecord dev=ATA:x,x,x where x,x,x is returned by: cdrecord --scanbus dev=ATA I myself am confused over the difference between dev=ATA and dev=ATAPI. AFAIK dev=ATA:x,x,x gives you DMA, while dev=ATAPI,x,x,x doesn't. This is with the unstable version of cdrecord. dev=ATA is probably equivalent to dev=/dev/hdX. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
