next question: dvd-burner.
I'm adding a DVD burner to my planned new platform. Since this is new technology, how careful do I have to be? In other words, does FreeBSD support most burners? Looks like the DVD/CDRW burner is a NEC... I'll 2-check. thanks in advance, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looks like the DVD/CDRW burner is a NEC... I'll 2-check. thanks in advance, gary So far I've had good luck with both DVD burners I've tried in FreeBSD. One was an old Sony DRU500A and the latest one that I have in two FreeBSD machines now is: acd0: DVDR LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1693S/KS04 at ata1-slave PIO4 The Sony finally died a few months ago after being in use since 2002. I replaced it with the LITE-ON and it has been working great. -Mark -- GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

No additional drivers were needed to read from the DVD burners.
