CDROM Writer

2007-12-25 9:17:00

Thanks to the numerous responses I received. . .

The general concensus was to use the cdrecord package. . .

Several others pointed me to the Dec. Issue of Sys-Admin, which was

sitting on top of a pile of unread mail. . .

Of course, now that I began researching this, my new toy was taken away,

but I will store this nugget of wisdom for later on.

Thanks again to all.

Original message:

I have just inherited a SPARCstation 20 (2.6, fully patched) with an

external cdrom writer. Since I have never had access to a cdrom writer,

I have no clue how to write to it. But now that I do have it, I would

like to be able to at least say I can use it.

Question is, do you use the same commands you would use to write to any

media device (ie, tape drive)?

If not, could someone give me a quick synopsis of commands to use with

it. (If it makes a difference, which I'm sure it doesn't, it is an MBI

LaserBank 1000)

Thanks, and will summarize.
