Does >such device support exist? Is anyone using one with their BSD system? It should work the same as any other SCSI CDROM drive, no special drivers needed. The SCSI code has to probe multiple LUNs - I don't know if that's the default for BSD (needed a #define to make it work in Linux) >This is a critical hardware device for my application. If it's critical, throw the Pioneer out the nearest window, the drive is garbage! In a multitasking, multiuser server environment the Pioneer will typically deadlock and hang the SCSI bus if processes access different CDROMs. Exchange it for individual CDROM drives. > >TIA >Keith > >
