¹⁾FreeBSD: using ATAPI drives requires loading the atapicam kernel module -- see INSTALL doc
²⁾Due to unresolved problems with the build system. However 64bit support currently provides no significant improvements over the 32bit version.
³⁾Later Versions up to Windows 7 have been reported to work. Windows 2000 SP3 and earlier versions are not supported.
⁴⁾Support for multicore processors varies. On some editions using additional cores for dvdisaster does not result in more performance.
