[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi ! I found a contradiction in your Doc, concerning Mitsumi's CD-ROM. In the FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/hardware.html#AEN1014), you can read : Q: Which CD-ROM drives are supported by FreeBSD? A: Any SCSI drive connected to a supported controller is supported. The following proprietary CD-ROM interfaces are also supported: Mitsumi LU002 (8bit), LU005 (16bit) and FX001D (16bit 2x Speed). Sony CDU 31/33A Sound Blaster Non-SCSI CD-ROM Matsushita/Panasonic CD-ROM ATAPI compatible IDE CD-ROMs In the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-hw.html), au contraire, you find : Unmaintained drivers, which might or might not work for your hardware: Floppy tape interface (Colorado/Mountain/Insight) mcd - Mitsumi proprietary CD-ROM interface (all models) As you can imagine, I own a Mitsumi FX001D, and the kernel configuration program does not detect it. So, I suppose the FAQs are wrong. Thank you for answering, Elvio ----------------------- Elvio Cipollone 40 rue du Passage 67800 BISCHHEIM (France) tel. & fax : ++33 388.62.61.00 e-mail : e.cipollone@evc.net [-- Attachment #2 --] <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>FAQ - Handbook contradiction</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> Hi !
