hi, just wanted to report that packet writing works just fine with my new Samsung SW-216B 16/10/32 burner. I've been using it actively about week and haven't had any problems. it's also nice that packet writing works flawlessly in ide-scsi mode so i don't have to use any tricks to switch ide-cd and ide-scsi modules to be able to use both packet-writing and cdrecord. one minor problem is that all writing is done in 1x mode (/proc/driver/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0 reports 300k/sec) for my 4x media. but if that's what it currently takes to make it work reliably, it's ok by me. anyway it's nice to see how packet writing has evolved since year ago when I first tried it. good job guys! -- Martin Lillepuu | e-mail: martin@lillepuu.com | gsm: +372 515 6450
