- NEW features of cdrecord-1.8a21:
-
- ALL:
-
- - New rules for IRIX 64
-
- - Reduce maxdma to 64k-1 on SunOS 4.x because esp hardware on VME boards
- does not support more than 16 bits for the DMA counter.
-
- - Allow 16 SCSI busses and 16 targets per SCSI bus if possible with
- an a specific OS.
-
- - Linux Parallel Port driver now searches backwards for a bus slot.
- This was needed because if SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER works,
- there may be holes in the bus mapping array.
-
- - Linux scsi-linux-sg.c fix for "Cannot send SCSI cmd via ioctl"
- message with cdrecord -scanbus. Fix for sg_mapbus() function.
- This was needed because if SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER works,
- there may be holes in the bus mapping array.
-
- - Better handling for the SCSI status byte with the enhanced Linux
- sg driver interface.
- Look for:
- ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/SG-2.2.tar.gz (Linux-2.2)
- ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/SG.patch.tar.gz (Linux-2.0 & 2.1)
-
-
- cdrecord:
-
- - Better DAO integration: cdrecord now prints an error message for
- drives that cannot do DAO or if cdrecord does not yet implement DAO
- fot this drive.
-
- - Cdrecord now looks for 16 SCSI busses and 16 targets per bus.
- Note that not all operating systems will support wide SCSI busses.
- For Solaris, you will wait for a new scg driver which will
- be available soon.
-
- NOTE: cdrecord does not print something like
- 9) *
- for a target that does not exists if the target # is above 7.
-
- - Fixes in several source files to make the compiler not
- complain about signed / unsigned comparison.
-
- - New disk manufacturers:
-
- "Woongjin Media corp"
- "INFODISC Technology Co., Ltd."
- "UNITECH JAPAN INC."
- "AMS Technology Inc."
-
- - Fix for Sony CDU-920 ATIP printing. This drive does return
- a ATIP lead-in start of 0!
-
- - Try to handle the SCSI get mode data Firmware bug which can
- be observed with JVC 2040 ?? (CD-RW) and the TEAC 532
- where mode page 0x2a returns garbage data.
-
- - Restore sector size if the 10 second wait time
- is aborted by ^C.
-
- - Added driver object routine to read buffer capacity.
-
- - Man page: added -force flag und -useinfo
-
- readcd:
-
- - fixed some small bugs that prevented compiling on AIX
-
- mkisofs:
-
- - fixed several small warnings from programs in the diag/
- directory
-
- cdda2wav:
-
- o new sound formats aiff/aifc (Apple/SGI)
- o generalized sound support for 4fronts USS/OSS drivers
- o included a nero-based table of cdda capable drives
- o new option -K to set the sound device
- o suppress weird cddb files when using pipes
- o enabled read cdtext for Sony drives
- o workaround for Sony CDU625 drives (which are NOT MMC)
-
- CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:
-
- To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin32-beta20 and install it.
- then create a symlink from /bin to the .../bin directory where bash is located.
- Now run 'make' ...
-
- The files are located on:
-
- ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha ...
-
- NOTE: These tar archives are 100% ansi compatible. Solaris 2.x tar and GNU
- tar may get some minor trouble.
-
- WARNING: Do not use 'mc' to extract the tar file!
- All mc versions before 4.0.14 cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
