-This is the README for the sjcd cdrom driver, version 1.5.
-
-This file is meant as a tips & tricks edge for the usage of the SANYO CDR-H94A
-cdrom drive. It will grow as the questions arise. ;-)
-Since the drive often comes with an ISP16 soundcard, which can be used
-as cdrom interface, this is also the place for ISP16 related issues.
-
-The driver should work with any SoundBlaster/Panasonic style CDROM interface,
-including the "soft configurable" MediaMagic sound card.
-To make this sound card (and others like "Mozart") working, it has to get
-"configured" by software.
-The suggestion to configure the ISP16 soundcard by booting DOS and
-a warm reboot to boot Linux somehow doesn't work, at least not
-on Eric's machine (IPC P90), with the version of the ISP16
-card he has (there appear to be at least two versions: Eric's card with
-no jumpered IDE support and OPTi 82C928 chip, and Vadim's version
-with a jumper to enable IDE support, probably with a OPTi 82C929 chip).
-Therefore detection and configuration of the ISP16 interfaces is included
-in the driver.
-If we should support any other interfaces (which cannot be configured
-through DOS) or if there are any more ISP16 types, please let us
-know (maarel@marin.nl) and we'll see.
-
-Otherwise, you should boot DOS once (and by this, run the "configuration driver")
-and then switch to Linux by use of CTRL-ALT-DEL. Each use of the RESET
-button or the power switch makes this procedure necessary again.
-If no ISP16 is detected, there's no harm done; a card configured trough DOS
-may still work as expected.
-
-As of version 1.4 sound through the speakers is supported; only for MSS-mode
-and no volume controle yet.
-
-PAUSE and STOP ioctl commands don't seem to work yet.
-
-ISP16 configuration routines reside at Vadim's server
- ftp.rbrf.ru:/linux/mediamagic/
-and at Eberhard's mirror
- ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/cdrom/drivers/sanyo/
-
-Leo Spiekman's configuration routines for the ISP-16 card can get found at
- dutette.et.tudelft.nl:/pub/linux/
-and at Eberhard's mirror
- ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/cdrom/drivers/optics/
-
-Eric van der Maarel's routines are included in sjcd.c.
-This, and any related stuff may be found by anonymous ftp at
- ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/cdrom/drivers/sanyo/
-
-The device major for sjcd is 18, and minor is 0. Create a block special
-file in your /dev directory (e.g., /dev/sjcd) with these numbers.
-(For those who don't know, being root and doing the following should do the trick:
- mknod -m 644 /dev/sjcd b 18 0
-and mount the cdrom by /dev/sjcd).
-
-The default configuration parameters are:
- base address 0x340
- no irq
- no dma
-As of version 1.2, setting base address, irq and dma at boot time is supported
-through the use of command line options: type at the "boot:" prompt:
- linux sjcd=<base address>,<irq>,<dma>
-(where your kernel is assumed to be called by saying "linux" to
-the boot manager).
-
-If something is wrong, e-mail to vadim@rbrf.ru
- or vadim@ipsun.ras.ru
- or model@cecmow.enet.dec.com
-
-It happens sometimes that Vadim is not reachable by mail. For these
-instances, Eric van der Maarel (maarel@marin.nl) will help, too.
