Key and thomas podkanski + + This allows to use cdrtools on NT without the need to install ASPI in case + you are administrator when yu run a program. + + Please note that the use of SPTI is default. If you like to force using + ASPI, use dev=ASPI:b,t,l or dev=ASPI (in the -scanbus case). + If you like to force STPI, use dev=SPTI:b,t,l or dev=SPTI. + + Currently, the interface does not yet fully matches the scg interface standard. + +- Try to support the half hearted and badly designed /dev/hd* interface + from Linux-2.6 in a more usable way. + + The only reason for adding this kind of support is that the Linux kernel + hackers reject to fix the known DMA bugs in the already existing SCSI + transport interfaces in the Linux kernel. Using /dev/hd* is unfortunately + the only way to get DMA with sector size being 2352, 2448 or similar. + + Use cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA and + cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0 + + Note: The Bus mapping function inside the kernel for this interface is + a dummy. For this reason, we need to do the mapping ourselves. + Busnumber is ("/dev/hd*"[7] - 'a') / 2 + Target is ("/dev/hd*"[7] - 'a') % 2 + + Also note that creating this interface in the Linux kernel was a waste of + time. It did need a lot of effort to be created. Instead of first adding + a new interface with a new broken DMA implementation and later fixing + the DMA bugs, it would have been better to just fix the DMA bugs + in ide-scsi.c + + Adding SCSI transport to something like /dev/hd* on an OS that includes + a generic SCSI transport driver is disregarding SCSI protocol layering. + A clean way to implement ATAPI on Linux would be to rather introduce a + SCSI hostadaptor driver that sends the SCSI commands via the + ATA hardware. + + Linux users should think about buying a CD writer for Linus Torvalds. + Maybe this could help to get better SCSI support in the Linux. Currently + Linus doesn't know anything about the CD-writing problems on Linux and + his contributions to CD-writing related issues in discussions are just + guesses that are not related to own experiences and understanding for + the matter :-( + + It seems that the Linux way of dealing with bugs is to implement a new + incompatible interface instead of fixing the known bugs from + old interfaces :-( + +- Allow cdrecord -scanbus dev=ASPI and cdrecord -scanbus dev=SPTI to work + on win32. + +- Correct a bug in the Win32 version analyze function that is needed to + use the correct SPTI interface. Unfortunately, the interface did + change with a NT-4.0 service pack. It is unclear whether the currently + used interface type is correct for all possible NT-4.0 variants. + +- For Win32, default to STPI only if on NT-5.x as there is a bug in some + UDMA implementations that causes blue screens. + +- The Mac OS X SCSI low level transport now roughly meets the interface standard. + For this reason, the file scsi-mac-iokit.c now is marked with Author "schily" + +- Indented according to the cstyle standard. + +- For win32, dev=ASPI:1,0 and dev=SPTI:1,0 work again + +- Trying to add a workaround for the Linux problem with USB where the + kernel issues a request sense even when there was only a DMA underrun + and the drive replies as expected with no-sense. Our problem in this + case is that we needed to ad another workaround because sometimes + Linux clears the status byte and we did assume a CHECK CONDITION in case + sense[0] was != 0. + +- Enhanced max # of SCSI busses to 256 for the Linux sg driver. + This was needed because of the (compared to Solaris) suboptimal + way of dealing with instance numbers on Linuux. + + While Solaris keeps a data base with instance numbers, disconnecting and + reconnecting a USB drive results in the USB device getting the same + SCSI address as before. + + As Linux does not have such a data base, disconnecting/reconnecting + a USB device has the unfortunate side effect of assigning a new and + different SCSI address with every USB connect. This also creates problems + when software likes to manage access rights to devices for non-root + users. + +- Win32 SPTI interface now also supports controllers with more than one + SCSI Bus. Thanks to Richard Stemmer + +- Fixed a bug in the Win32 SPTI/ASPI interface introduced with 2.01a28 + that caused core dumps because it did try to access data behind the end of the + sense data array in the ASPI cmd structure. + +- Scan /dev/hda../dev/hdz instead of /dev/hda../dev/hdt for dev=ATAPI on Linux. + +- Trying to write a better warning message for the dev=ATAPI: interface + on Linux (the related kernel interface is unmaintained and does + not support DMA at all). + +- Fixed a bug in Win-NT Version string handling in scsi-wnt.c + Thanks to Alex Kopylov <reanimatolog@yandex.ru> + This caused that libscg did not properly recognize NT-4.x with service pack 4 + to be equivalent to NT-5.0 (Win2k). + +- Trying to avoid using the WinNT-SPTI interface for NT-4.0 + +- Fixed a security bug in scsi-remote.c (the RSCSI client). + + +Rscsi: + +- Support for IPv6 + +- Workaround for missing struct sockaddr_storage on SCO UnixWare + +- Security update.

Now cdrecord does not check the disk size anymore if the number + of tracks to be written is 0. + +- First CDRWIN CUE sheet support. + + Cdrecord currently supports what is in the CUE sheet description in + the CDRWIN documentation (with a few exceptions). Note that the + examples in the rest of the CDRWIN man page are mostly illegal + if you compare them against the CDRWIN CUE sheet syntax documentation. + + These exceptions are currently in effect: + + - Only one FILE Line per CUE sheet file (This is compliant to the + CUE shet format documentation although the examples show CUE + files with more than one FILE line). NOTE that the CUE syntax has + been ill defined so that it would not make sense to e.g. use + more than one FILE line for audio CDs. + + - The AIFF File type is not implemented (because I have no documentation + for this audio file format). + + - The MP3 File type is not yet implemented. + + - The CDG data type keyword will not yet work + + - The CDI data type keyword will not yet work + + - Only a sector size of 2048 will work with MODE1 + + - Sectors with sector size 2336 will not yet work + + - POSTGAP will not yet work. + + Note that the CDRWIN CUE documentation is bad and it is unclear how + formless (non XA) MODE 2 sectors should be made. + + CDI is not a sector/track property but a disk property. + + The File type BINARY vs. MOTOROLA is unclear. + + To use the cue sheet feature call: + + cdrecord dev=.... -v -dao cuefile=xx.cue + + The main reason for implementing CUE sheet support was to allow to + write VCD/SVCD with cdrecord.
