Hello....! I have a mitsumi CD-ROM drive and I attach it to one of my PC's IDE slot (My PC is capable of supporting Enhanced IDE interface.), not to any mitsumi interface currently supported by FreeBSD 2.1.0 (it is difficult to find such interface card here, in Indonesia). And it works under MS-DOS 6.2 using software driver from Creative. But FreeBSD couldn't recognize it. I have read in the release notes that FreeBSD is now only able to recognize any IDE CD-ROM drive through it's propietary interface. But what a good thing to make it also works through any of IDE interface (just like SCSI). Creative driver can make it...and I believe that FreeBSD will. As addition, my PC is a Pentium PC and has 2 IDE slot. One slot has capability of connecting two IDE drive (primary master and primary slave) and the other one also has the same capability (secondary master and slave). I attach my CD-ROM drive to the secondary slot (the slave one) and it uses I/O address 0x170 and irq 15. I have configured my FreeBSD to refer to that I/O address and irq when probing the mcd0/mcd1, but it's still not working. I wish you are able to send me any stuff about this problem. Please send reply to me through both of these e-mail address: smu_16@jakarta.wasantara.net.id kandi@jambi.wasantara.net.id I'll be very grateful for such reply. Thank's a lot for providing time to read and reply my e-mail. -a FreeBSD lover- West Java Indonesia.
