It's in hardware.hlp on the 2.0.5 CD-ROM, and is also on the matcd man page (matcd.4). Here is the Quick replay from the same question from two days ago: The version of the matcd driver in 2.0.5 supports ONLY adapter cards from Creative Labs, ie GENUINE SoundBlaster cards. Knock-off cards, partcularly those with the I/O port at 0x340 or higher are not compatible and don't work. The knock-off cards have similar I/O ports and commands for "sound functions" but the CD-ROM interface is different. The board makers figure it doesn't matter since the games and stuff are going to use the provided CD-ROM driver and MSCDEX (under DOS) to access the drive anyway. (Only the sound part of the board has to be identical or people complain.) To support NON-Creative Labs sound cards Panasonic CD-ROM interfaces, you need the latest matcd driver, which can be found in -current and hopefully soon in a SNAP. It will also be in FreeBSD 2.1.
