Thanks to: David Foster [foster@dim.ucsd.edu] Richard Felkins [richardf@elli.gso.saic.com] I apologize I did not check for recent summaries on this issue on the archive. David's summary is in the archive on the very same issue. He used the same drive, and ide-scsi converter found in http://www.unixhub.com/docs/misc/DVD.html. In addtion he was kind enough to send his dvdburn and mount scripts. The other response was to contact ymi.com for the software. This is not a freeware. Sundar -----Original Message----- I received a Sun Blade 2000 without DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drive. I am now looking into getting an internal drive that is DVD-R/RW, CD-RW combo and that can also read DVD-ROM. I also need the same type, but as external drive for my Sun Blade 100. I could not find a single SCSI based drive. There were IDE/USB/Firewire ones. I found a list of combo drives from web (in random order, eliminating firewire devices): HP DVD200I EIDE/ATAPI Toshiba SD-R5002B EIDE/ATAPI Pioneer DVR-A04 EIDE/ATAPI Ricoh RW5125A EIDE/ATAPI Memorex p/n 32023251 EIDE/ATAPI Sony DRU500A EIDE/ATAPI AsusTek p/n 102660 EIDE/ATAPI IOMagic p/n DVDRW248 USB Phillips DVDRW228 EIDE/ATAPI AcerBenq CRW2108VR EIDE/ATAPI I found one useful info related to the topic: http://www.unixhub.com/docs/misc/DVD.html My questions are: 1) Is there a table out there which says what works and what does not under Sun Blade (100/1000/2000) SCSI/USB/Firewire interfaces under Solaris (min version required is 2.8 2/02) as fas as DVD-R/RW drives are concerned? 2) Has anyone tested ProDVD (ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/ProDVD/) under these interfaces? I need to make the purchases soon. I am willing to hear more from you all, before I painfully learn otherwise. I will summarize. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Oct 10 10:52:37 2002
