.Sh BUGS
The driver is still in a very preliminary state. Expect all kind of
surprises when using it. It is highly recommendable to be used to
the command
.Xr scsi 8
in order to provide First Medical Aid in case of an emergency.
The driver is considered beta quality. There's still a lot of
polishing required.
.Pp
Preparing the driver for a CD-R from another vendor will require you
to understand the source code, be used to the SCSI-2 specification,
hold a copy of the vendor's SCSI reference manual on your desk, and
have a lot of patience and CD-R's.
.Pp
The driver should learn the entire set of CD-ROM commands, too, since
all CD-R devices implement it.
The driver should include all the functionality of the
.Xr cd 4
driver. No strategy for implementing this kind of interaction has
been designed yet.
.Pp
The first
.Em Unit Attention
conditition after a media change is often not yet caught, although
the driver was designed to catch it. This can royally screw a user
of the driver, thus make sure to manually catch it before actually
starting a burn. This can be done for example with a dummy
.Em Test Unit Ready
command:
.Bd -literal
scsi -f /dev/rworm0.ctl -c "0 0 0 0 0 0" >/dev/null 2>&1
