Im about to purchase an CDRW for Linux and I wonder if the CDRW in the
Subject line is supported. Its an ATAPI and as I far as I have heard
most ATAPI drivers should work.

Other tips on good CDRWs for Linux are also appreciated.

Yes, it will work.  Read the CD-Writing HOWTO at
http://www.veryComputer.com/
it set up properly.

...most any newer ATAPI CD-RW will work, though problems have been
reported with the Iomega ZipCD and some Sony drives.  I bought a
bargain-ba*t Philips CD-RW and it has worked very well so far.

1. Plextor Plexwriter 8/4/32A - Works in FreeBSD?

Hi,

I own an ATAPI CD-RW - Plextor Plexwriter 8/4/32A.  Are there any owners of
this cd burner that have gotten it to work under FreeBSD?  Are there any
websites where I can get this type of information?

My problem is this:  My scanner is not supported in Linux, but my CD-RW is.
However, as I've heard, some people say that FreeBSD doesn't like ATAPI /
IDE cd-rw drives.  The scanner driver I planned to use in FreeBSD is
uscanner - my two options are to either compile the source for linux, or
find a way to get my cd-rw to work in FreeBSD.  I would much rather use
FreeBSD.  Thanks.
