This is version 1(16). This version fixes a couple of bugs located since the driver first appeared in FreeBSD -current a month ago. It also adds the remaining audio and TOC ioctls that keep xcd and xcdplayer (and some versions of cdplayer) from running. It compiles -Wall with no warnings under 2.x and will still compile and run under 1.1.5.1. Some new devs have been added that lock the media in the drives while the devices on a drive are open that can be used in environments where the born-button-pushers live or where discs tend to walk off. :-) There is also a man page (matcd.4). This should take care of all outstanding problems/complaints. The MAX data transfer rate under 2.x is still under 190K/sec, while the same code, disc and system gives just over 302K/sec under 1.1.5.1. This is a 2.x kernel issue that still exists. If there are any other problems, please let me know.
