Cdrecord runs on:

• SunOS 4.1.3 or later: sparc.
• Solaris 2.3 or later: sparc and x86.
• Linux: x86 sparc and alpha.
• NetBSD/FreeBSD/OpenBSD: x86 sparc
• SGI IRIX: mips
• HP-UX: hppa

NEW features of cdrecord-1.5:

In short:

• Added support for *BSD, HP-UX and SGI-IRIX
• Added support for the new SCSI-3/mmc drives (Yamaha CDR-400, Ricoh MP-6200)

Verbose:

• added support for the Yamaha CDR-400 and other SCSI-3/mmc conforming drives like Ricoh MP-6200
• Pre-alpha support for Teac (one data track in first session) With help from Bill_Swartz@twolf.com and tjko@math.jyu.fi (Timo Kokkonen)
• Bug fix for Philips CLI-521 and CLI-522 drives Now these old Philips and Kodak drives work again.
• added support for FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD (could be better if *BSD would upgrade kernel to support SCSI device files)
• Support for SGI/IRIX (should be complete for now) SGI is fully supported (as SunOS/Solaris). Error recognition SCSI bus scanning and DMA residual count is fully supprted.
• Support for HP-UX
• New options:
  -inq only do SCSI inquiry
  -checkdrive check if a driver for this drive is present
  driver=name allows to select a specific driver by hand.
  To get a list of drivers use: cdrecord driver=help
  -scanbus scan SCSI bus for drives and print description
  -nofix do not fixate the disk
• Byte-order of all Recorders will be automatically converted to BIG Endian This is the reason for the reordering of the output. NOTE: the verbose track listing may not be the same ad the -swap flags instead it lists if cdrecord will really need to swab bytes.
• Exit codes != 0 if somthing bad happenes while burning a disk.
• Automatically ejects/reloads the disk if Philips drive needs it because of firmware status problems.
• added support for Smart & Friendly
• Added support for Taiyo Yuden CD-WO EW-50 (not tested)
• Better rounding for verbose printing
• Better verbose output to identify used CD-R driver type
• Try to open /dev/sg0 ... on Linux too to avoid problems
• Add /usr/src/linux/include to include list on Linux
• Better -toc listing
• #include to be able to compile mkisofs on *BSD
• Linux hack with mapping for more than one SCSI Bus
• Hack to deal with a NetBSD/sparc SCSI driver bug (until fixed in driver)
• Fix bug that would make mkisofs dump core on *BSD (my printf code curently cannot use the non-standard floatingpoint routines on *BSD)
• -fix should now work even with Sony and SCSI-3/mmc drives
• Better manual entry for the -isosize option
• -isosize option disabled on non-seekable files
• Completely rewritten drive recognition.
• renamed the "errno" struct member in scg_cmd to "ux_errno" for the new GNU libc. This is needed for the new debian Linux.
• Bug in scsi_load() corrected - cdrecord now loads the tray on a Yamaha CDR-400t and Teac CD-R50S
• Bug fix in mkisofs for the times in the ISO9660 Volume descritor. The times have been only correct on Linux (by accident) before. Timezone now supported too.
• Rewritten SCSI hack code to reduce number of open files.
• Rewritten SCSI hack code for Linux will try to do SCSI target mapping even for old kernels on systems with more than one SCSI bus.
• Verbose track listing moved past inquiry output
• Copyright/Release-# output is always present if Inquiry output is present.
