This interface allows to send SCSI commands directly + to ATAPI drives without using ide-scsi and sg, but it has several pitfalls. + + While Linux allows to use DMA when using ide-scsi and sg if the + sector size is 2048 and the transfer buffer starts page aligned, the new + direct interface never uses DMA (acording to Linus Torvalds). So if you + write audio CDs or data CDs in RAW mode, there is no difference. If you + write data CDs in TAO or DAO mode, using ide-scsi and sg allows much + higher write speed. Note that this may change in future.... + + Notes for use: + + - You need to specify something like dev=/dev/hdc + Note that this is unsupported by libscg. + + - As long as there is no safe way for libscg to find out early that + this new interface is used, libscg may hang a bit on open. + This is caused by the fact that libscg is forced to read + from the open filedscriptor to clean up old Linux sg driver + interfaces. This was never a problem with /dev/sg*, but + when doing the same thing, this causes libscg to read content + from /dev/hd* + + - There is (currently) no way for cdrecord to scan for ATAPI + devices when using this interface. + + As long as this is true, you may want to prefer to use + + cdrecord dev=ATAPI: -scanbus + and + cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0 ... + instead. + +- Fix scsi-unixware.c to allow multiple opens. + +- Fixed several typo's. + +- Avoid to read from the media (when using the new experimental + Linux ATAPI transport) while trying to clear old sg driver status. + +- Woraround for Linux kernel design bug: CDROM_SEND_PACKET sets errno + to EINVAL in case SCSI sense key is "Invalid command". + +/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ + +Rscsi: + +- RSCSI now works if the target is a Win32 system. + This is not done by changing rscsi.c but by fixing a bug + in Cygwin! + + The fix to Cygwin's rshd is posted in + + http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-05/msg00000.html + + Thanks to egor duda <deo@logos-m.ru> + + NOTE that in a few weeks this patch will be integrated into Cygwin + and cdrecord/RSCSI will work out of the box on a recent Cygwin release. + +- Now prints user ID & user Name into DEBUG file + +- Now using signal safe read/write functions. + +- Code now checks for HAVE_NETDB_H (added by request of + "Thomas" <Langer.Thomas@gmx.de> to help with AmigaOS port) + This should indicate whether there is support for rcmd() + in the OS. + +- Make it compile on BeOS + +- changed because GNU Hurd has no MAXHOSTNAMELEN + +- Return "PIPE" for hostname comparison if called from e.g. 'sshd'. + +/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ + +Cdrecord: + +- New option -overburn + + This option has been added as many people seem to be unabe to understand + that they are going to write more than the official disk capacity from + reading cdrecord's output.

Use this option with care and do not expect cdrecord to work + correctly if it has been called with -immed. + +- -force will not completely removeany speed restrictions for writing in RAW + mode. Instead, only the speed that a single CPU allows will be permitted + by cdrecord. This still has a high potential for a buffer underrun. + By default cdrecord still is limited to half the encoding speed that + a single CPU allows.
