             As you are arguing, I would like to ask you if there are any
    Solaris x86 cdrecord available in somewhere?
    ( I hope this is not an INCORRECT question..:-) )

    I apologise from linux-parporters.. I already have a HP7200 plus, and I
    can read and write from linux... I need to know if
    it is possible in solaris too...
