Has anyone thought about how to write a RT module/driver that
could drive a CD burner?
I has destroyed numerous blanks because of buffer underflows
and am thinking that this is an ideal RT linux application.
The machine I use is a samba server/intranet server,
and so activity is uncertain.. (so much for having a
Linux machine serving a windows environment).
Because the burner is SCSI, so I'm guessing there wouldn't be
straight forward solution (other than moving the burner onto
another machine).
Problem:
Guarentee a fixed rate of data from the IDE HDD
to the SCSI device.
This would mean that I would need:
- Fixed data rate from IDE HDD - RT IDE driver?
- Fixed data rate to SCSI device. - RT SCSI driver?
Would the first be enough to keep the buffer full?
This also sounds like a lot of work.. anyone got
any suggestions,
