Sorry, -1 point for you for being such a bully. You obviously didn't look at Matthias' patch, you even expressed unwillingness to look at it. I would be _very_ surprised if at the end you actually read or (oh, the horror!) test it. I have followed every such threads that ended in a flamefest. Folks, please, cdrecord is GPL, at least up to 2.01.01a06. Take this version and ask for help from the wizards at forum.rpc1.org in forking. They drink, eat and breath CD-R[W] and DVD+-R[W] firmwares, they surely know vendor commands, they must be able to understand Jörg's software and maybe improve upon it. They can validate the ossdvd patch, and fix it if it's buggy. For those who don't know, there even exists a firmware updater for Pioneer DVD+-RW drives that work on Linux with /dev entries, on a live system, without the need for a reboot... http://lasvegas.rpc1.org/ Look, Jörg, they don't need HOST/TARGET/LUN triplets for this task!
