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
+
# insmod mcdx.o mcdx=0x300,11,0x304,5
+
and so on ("address,IRQ" pairs).
This will override the configuration in mcdx.h.

This version doesn't support yet:
- o audio functions;
o shared IRQs (but it seems to be possible - I've successfully
connected two drives to the same irq. So it's `only' a
problem of the driver.)
