>Environment:

	Philips CD-2600 CD-Writer on NCR SCSI

>Description:

	Some days ago, I tried to burn a CD-ROM on 3.0 (pre-ELF).
	I lost the CD on a writing error with cdrecord. 
	Cdrecord was usable under 2.2. Cdrecord uses a file
	/dev/scgx, which is symlinked to worm0 or worm0.ctl.
	Neither works anymore. worm0 rejects inquiries such
	as 'next writable track'. Worm0.ctl rejects real
	writing.

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
	
	A really usable method to access generic SCSI devices
	is needed. Maybe CAM is the solution. But I'm afraid that
	the code seems not be there now.

State-Changed-When: Fri Sep 18 21:26:51 PDT 1998 
State-Changed-Why:  
The FreeBSD cdrecord port is in a state of flux. 

If you can upgrade your machine to CAM, try out either the cdrecord port 
here: 

ftp://ftp.kdm.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam/cdrecord-1.6-cam.980709.tar.gz 

or the cdrecord binary here: 

ftp://ftp.kdm.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam/test/cdrecord-1.6.1a3.test 

The binary is from newer code that will hopefully be released with the 
next alpha of cdrecord.  I would avise trying that one first. 

If you have trouble using it, please send detailed error messages and 
configuration information from your machine.

works fine for them on 3.0.
