Judging from Jacob's dmesg segment earlier in this thread, it appears they do not work (at least no the Plextor units). Danke, J

The PX-755SA is very similar to the 712SA, so I'm guessing that the 755 won't work either. I would have guessed that OpenBSD supported SATA DVD drives, but the "Platforms" page suggests support is very limited - I guess that squelches plans for a SATA HDD as well :( Too bad... the SATA drives are a lot faster & relieve cable clutter. Thanks, Jay

SATA DVD Support?
I'm building a systeme & considering a SATA DVD drive (Plextor PX-755SA). Anyone used one of these in a recent version of OpenBSD, or have any other thoughts on SATA DVD compatibility? Thnx, Jay
