Hmm, I just checked the homepage of sg3-utils and they have ports for various Unices and Windows, but there is no MacOS X port, unfortunately. So, there are two possibilites: Either we will get the *BSD port of libsgutils to work on MacOS X (since *BSD and MacOS X are very close relatives it might be worth a try) or we have to stick to my old proposal and use libusal from the CDR-Kit suite: <http://www.cdrkit.org/> libusal is part of CDR-Kit, which is a fork of the (in-)famous cdrecord suite by Joerg Schilling, where libusal is called libscg. In any case, these libraries provide a generic SCSI interface which works on at least a dozen of various operating systems, including MacOS, Linux and Windows. So this should be a way for us to get SCSI support working on all supported platforms. Adrian
