This is very interesting data and I was just wondering about the
actual state of functionality in our AIO code just the other day,
oddly enough. Does anyone have a PR# for the mentioned patches?

Hi,
The subject pretty much asks the question. I'm looking for
anyone who has used or tried to use the new Pioneer DVR-S201
2nd Generation 4.7GB DVD-Writer on FreeBSD/cdrecord.

Hi,
I have performed several live upgrades of FreeBSD
before (3.0Stable to 3.3Stable), and experienced no problems. However, I think
there are more differences in 3.0Release (basically, that was the first version
that supported SMP), and was hoping for some feed back. I know that the

Yup. Save the following as kbddump.c, then:
cc -O kbddump.c -o kbddump
./kbd
Is it possible to read the raw keyboard scancodes from a userland

Failing that, has anyone figured out a keyboard mapping for an

Sounds like UHCI => IDE, OHCI => SCSI ? (only 1/
Whether or not the system is loaded or not depends mainly on what
hardware you have. OHCI tends to load the system a lot less than UHCI
(Intel).
But compared to serial and parallel ports, USB is a lot better. Most of
the transaction is done per DMA and with large quantities it outperforms

When your code breaks when using -O2 or higher, don't do that, use
just -O!
