I was thinking about getting a CD-Writer so I could backup stuff (source
tree's, etc...) I need to know which one's are supported by FreeBSD and if
there's software out there to control it. It needs to support ISO9660
(obviously) with rockridge extensions for long filenames. I also would
like to know how much (price-wise they cost) I saw a few in CompUSA for
around $500US but they looked pretty dos/windows dependant. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
