I had posted about some DVD burner problems awhile back, see
<http://www.mail-archive.com/misc@openbsd.org/msg44484.html>

They are solved now.  The problem was the TSSTCorp SH-S182D was
running really old firmware.  I upgraded the firmware to SB04 and it
is working fine, and reading the discs that it burns.  In the process
I also put it into an external enclosure with USB 2.0 connection so
that I could hook it up to my roomates laptop and upgrade the
firmware.

In the process of working on this, I discovered that Ubuntu i386
leaves my VGE ethernet card in a state such that the ciphy PHYS layer
driver does not load when I boot back into OpenBSD 4.2 amd64.  I also
learned alot about SCSI debugging and DVD formats, upgraded to
-current, and gained an even deeper appreciation of the level of
documentation in OpenBSD.  More about the VGE issue later...

Thanx, just wanted the fix to be in the archives...
