-This is a first attempt to create an `improved' driver for the Mitsumi drives.
-It is able to "live together" with mcd.c, if you have at least two Mitsumi
-drives: each driver can use its own drive.
-
-To allow this "coexistence" as long as mcdx.c is not a superset of mcd.c,
-this driver has to use its own device files. We use MAJOR 20 for it. So,
-you have to do
-
- # mknod /dev/mcdx0 b 20 0
- # mknod /dev/mcdx1 b 20 1
-
-and so on, one entry for each drive to support, once.
-
If you are using the driver as a module, you can specify your ports and IRQs
like
ordinary CDs;
o supports up to 5 drives (of course, you'll need free
IRQs, i/o ports and slots);
- o uses much less kernel memory than the standard mcd driver
- (no extra driver internal buffers!).
- o plays audio (like the `old' driver, I hope)
+ o plays audio
This version doesn't support yet:
