NEW features of cdrecord-1.8a21:

ALL:

-	New rules for IRIX 64

-	Reduce maxdma to 64k-1 on SunOS 4.x because esp hardware on VME boards
	does not support more than 16 bits for the DMA counter.

-	Allow 16 SCSI busses and 16 targets per SCSI bus if possible with
	an a specific OS.

-	Linux Parallel Port driver now searches backwards for a bus slot.
	This was needed because if SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER works,
	there may be holes in the bus mapping array.

-	Linux scsi-linux-sg.c fix for "Cannot send SCSI cmd via ioctl"
	message with cdrecord -scanbus. Fix for sg_mapbus() function.
	This was needed because if SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER works,
	there may be holes in the bus mapping array.

-	Better handling for the SCSI status byte with the enhanced Linux
	sg driver interface.
	Look for:
		ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/SG-2.2.tar.gz (Linux-2.2)
		ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/SG.patch.tar.gz (Linux-2.0 & 2.1)


cdrecord:

-	Better DAO integration: cdrecord now prints an error message for
	drives that cannot do DAO or if cdrecord does not yet implement DAO
	fot this drive.

-	Cdrecord now looks for 16 SCSI busses and 16 targets per bus.
	Note that not all operating systems will support wide SCSI busses.
	For Solaris, you will wait for a new scg driver which will
	be available soon.

	NOTE: cdrecord does not print something like
	9) *
	for a target that does not exists if the target # is above 7.

-	Fixes in several source files to make the compiler not 
	complain about signed / unsigned comparison.

-	New disk manufacturers:

		"Woongjin Media corp"
		"INFODISC Technology Co., Ltd."
		"UNITECH JAPAN INC."
		"AMS Technology Inc."

-	Fix for Sony CDU-920 ATIP printing. This drive does return
	a ATIP lead-in start of 0!

-	Try to handle the SCSI get mode data Firmware bug which can
	be observed with JVC 2040 ?? (CD-RW) and the TEAC 532
	where mode page 0x2a returns garbage data.

-	Restore sector size if the 10 second wait time
	is aborted by ^C.

-	Added driver object routine to read buffer capacity.

-	Man page: added -force flag und -useinfo

readcd:

-	fixed some small bugs that prevented compiling on AIX

mkisofs:

-	fixed several small warnings from programs in the diag/
	directory

cdda2wav:

 o   new sound formats aiff/aifc (Apple/SGI)
 o   generalized sound support for 4fronts USS/OSS drivers
 o   included a nero-based table of cdda capable drives
 o   new option -K to set the sound device
 o   suppress weird cddb files when using pipes
 o   enabled read cdtext for Sony drives
 o   workaround for Sony CDU625 drives (which are NOT MMC) 

CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:

To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin32-beta20 and install it.
then create a symlink from /bin to the .../bin directory where bash is located.
Now run 'make' ...

The files are located on:

ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha ...

NOTE:	These tar archives are 100% ansi compatible. Solaris 2.x tar and GNU
	tar may get some minor trouble.

WARNING: Do not use 'mc' to extract the tar file!
	All mc versions before 4.0.14 cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
