Two parts are new: a version that works on a VAXstation 2000 (Thanks to W.J.Moeller) + support of the Yamaha CDR400 drive. The program has been tested on a DEC-(now DEQ?)-3000-300-Alpha-Machine OpenVMS 7.1/scsi02-patch. A writing speed of four works without problems. In order to produce an executable for a specific drive one must define an adequate parameter. "CDD2000=1" , "CDD2600=1" , "HP4020=1" , "HP6020=1" , "CDR100=1" , "CDR400=1" are valid definitions for the compilation: $ cc/prefix=all/define=("CDR400=1") cdwrite14_vms.c $ link cdwrite14_vms.obj as an example. You'll find the rest of how to setup the program in the small readme- file. The sources are downloadable from ftp://v36.chemie.uni-konstanz.de/cdwrite. Some remarks: If you want to get a support of other drives than mentioned above, I'm willing to help. There is a good chance for all SCSI-drives that are supported by the excellent written cdrecord-program provided by Joerg Schilling. So I see two possibilities for that task: 1.) Get the cdrecord-program and run it on a SUN/SGI/LINUX-system. If you modify the code slightly you'll get all data I need - reverse engineering. 2.) Send the drive to me if you accept all the risc that is involved into such a procedure. If you have further questions, please let me know.
