I have to connect my Plextor PX-716A dvd-writer via an external
IDE-to-USB/1394 Icybox (IB-550UE-B-BL) to my freebsd-6.0-RELEASE pc.
This pc is an IBuddy Desknote A928 without room for internal extra
devices. So I bought an Icybox enclosure, put the plextor in it and
connected the icybox through USB:

How do I tell FreeBSD that this is a DVD-writer rather than a hard
disk?
Have you tried to use it?
Does cdrecord dev=3,0,0 -prcap show false information as well?
No, I did not try it. Ms XP had the same problem when connecting over
USB. However, connecting over firewire to XP was ok.
Due to lack of time for further experimenting, the plextor is now built
in into my freebsd server as a normal ide device.
So this is now a non-problem.
Thanks for your reply though,
Guido.
