Yes, it now enters ricoh(), and seems to work fully with -media, -unit, and 
-inq.  -unit retained its setting after power off.

I removed this patch:
  http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2004/cdwrite-200404/msg00137.html

// Replace BTC cmd's with Ricoh.
-   cmd[0]=0xFA;
-   cmd[2]=book;
-   cmd[10]=0xAA;
-   cmd[11]=0xFF;

+   cmd[0]=0xF9;
+   cmd[1]=0x02;
+   cmd[2]=book;
+   cmd[3]=(gen==1?0:0xFF);
+   cmd[11]=0;

And it works! Of course this is unique firmware so I've not idea if this has 
anything to do with a real BTC.

However, even though dvd+rw-mediainfo says it's now DVD-ROM my damn laptop 
drive still won't read the disc.  : (

Just upgraded to that firmware. 
Burnt a Princo 4x disc @ 6x (2108 Mb average 4.6x1385KBps)
Cool. Burnt a 2.4x +RW. Fine.

Tried dvd+rw-booktype and get this now:

$ dvd+rw-booktype -dvd-rom-spec -media /dev/cdroms/1
:-[ PREVENT MEDIA REMOVAL failed with SK=5h/ASC=20h/ACQ=00h]: Operation not 
supported
Current media Book Type Field is 92h: DVD+RW specification [revision 2]

Traced back and it looks like the firmware hack presents itself as a BTC.
I applied the patches at:
http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2004/cdwrite-200404/msg00126.html
http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2004/cdwrite-200404/msg00137.html

It doesn't error, but neither does it change the book type. What next?

Setting booktype on NEC 2500A

2004-04-22 Thread Dave Cinege
Andy,

I just swaped out my problematic Optorite 203 for an NEC 2500A.
Very happy with the drive thus far. I intend to upgrade the drive to 
some third party firmware that removes the video read limit and more 
importantly adds bitsetting. (Very important to me since I can't read +R/W
media in my panasonic laptop drive)

See:
http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=24692
http://www.herrie.org/

How should I go about trying to add support for the NEC 2500A to 
dvd+rw-booktype?

Since quite a few 'unofficial' firmwares are becoming available
that support bitsetting, the better question might be how can we add
more generic support to dvd+rw-booktype?

Dave
