Dave Marquardt stands accused of saying: > Sound144 card, which includes > 14.4K fax/data modem > SoundBlaster compatible sound functions > MPU401 MIDI port > Game port > Panasonic/Matsushita CR-563 CD-ROM interface > 2X CD-ROM drive > > I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5, and I've managed to get everything to work > EXCEPT the CD-ROM drive.

After corresponding with the author of the matcd driver, I understand that the version of the driver in 2.0.5R is only suitable for use with genuine SB16 adapters. Newer versions of the driver support other cards (like yours) >From first impressions, it appears that the driver is a straight-forward drop-in. > Dave Marquardt -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
