CD-R writing from FreeBSD Message-ID: <neIKwIf@quack.kfu.com> Sender: news@quack.kfu.com (0000-News(0000)) Organization: The Duck Pond public unix, +1 408 249 9630, log in as guest. Date: Mon, 22 Jan 1996 23:13:03 UTC Lines: 25 I don't know enough about SCSI to figure out how to use either scsi(8) or scsi(3) in order to burn a CD-R worm disk. Has this been done successfully under FreeBSD, and if not, the following questions come to mind: 1. What would the general procedure be for taking either the output of mkisofs or the output of dd if=/dev/rcd0c (where cd0 is some other CD target) and having the HP 4020i burn it? I take it there is more to it than just using dd and making sure to keep up with the record rate of the writer. 2. Does this procedure generalize across different vendors of CD-R writers? 3. Should I configure the HP (if I buy one) as a cd target, worm target (I suspect this is correct), disk or unknown? Thanks in advance. If I successfully write a CD, I'll post how I did it. Of course, step 1 is buying the writer. :-) -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | "You see it. You hear it.
