Hi!

JFYI - все не так плохо как кажется - мы еще увидим pktcdvd для DVD* под
2.6.x :)))

Ok, i've made quite a bit of progress.


i'll post a patch before the end of today, but so far testing is going
GOOD!!

Thanks guys for all your help!

The only thing is there will have to be a split off of the packet
writing code on this one. and i've combined the dvd+rw & dvd-rw, let me
know if this is ok.


Thanks again!
