Hi there,
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
I've been searching high and low for DAO (disk at once) CDR
|
|
recording software for linux. Does any exist, Commercial or
|
|
otherwise?
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
I've email Jeff Arnold about a Linux port and he bluntly refused.
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
I've email'd HyCD who have a tool that appeared to support DAO and
|
|
claimed UNIX support. But their software didn't support DAO and
|
|
they weren't interested in a Linux port. I've informed them of this
|
|
hole in the Linux software market.
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
The closest thing that appears to be available is that Joerg
|
|
Schilling's cdrecord supports DAO MMC-3 (err i think that is the
|
|
spec) Of course my CDR (HP 4020i) isn't MMC compatible.
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
I've had a look at writing my own but it appears that every CDR has
|
|
a different command set to write in DAO mode. I think is was a
|
|
little out of my depth, since I couldn't even get the CDR to read
|
|
raw sectors.
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
So your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
|
|
<br>Mark.

|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
I don't know anything about the difference between DAO and
|
|
other forms of CDR recording. Normally, I'd spend an
|
|
hour or two hunting around on
|
|
<a href="http://altavista.digital.com/">Alta Vista</a>,
|
|
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo!</a>,
|
|
Savvy Search,
|
|
<a href="http://www.dejanews.com/">DejaNews</a>, etc and
|
|
pulling out more of my hair to find out. However, I have a book to
|
|
write and a wife to feed, and it is just too close to my deadline for
|
|
me to wait until tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
So, what is DAO and why would you need it? What is the
|
|
difference between <TT>cdrecord</TT> and <TT>cdwrite</TT> (the one I
|
|
use with my Ricoh CDR)? Have you tried them both? What is
|
|
MMC? Who is Jeff Arnold? Who are HyCD and should we
|
|
care enough to start another Linux grassroots
|
|
"petition-the-vendor" campaign or should we just write
|
|
more code to "do-it-ourselves"?
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
I'll publish this one --- and let you and the rest of my
|
|
readership nail me with the answers. (Naturally I'll
|
|
bounce you copies of the other responses as they trickle in).
