is the usb cdrw device guaranteed to adhere to a standard?
i'd have thought the link speed would anyway be rather slow,
and i'd have gone for an ide/scsi link myself.

usb drivers that do non-trivial things are non-trivial.
the plan 9 device driver interface is the least of your problems.
my driver has bounced back and forth between plan9
and inferno, and with contributions from a handful
of others has gradually become sufficiently useful
that worth revamping it.

Hi,

What is the status of USB support in Plan9...

What I'am really asking is If I bought a USB CDRW drive and used it with NT for
now
would I be able to use it with Plan9 in the forseeable future?

I know I could write a driver but I am still on the flat part of the learning
curve WRT
both the Plan9 kernel and USB, and still too busy with work to do anything about
it.
