To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 16 Jul 95 21:24:33 EAT Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Ok, ok. I've read the FAQ and know the problem is my CD-ROM interface card is not a genuine Creative Lab/Sound Blaster card. The interface is included on an Ultrasound clone , and the I/O port is at 0x300. After booting with -c to configure matcd0 to probe port 0x300, I get infinite messages : matcd0: get_stat: After reading status byte, bus didn't go idle ff f7 300 After browsing the codes quickly, I know my bus status is 0xf7, rather than the expected 0xff. The problem is : all are new stuff - a new CD-ROM drive, a new Ultrasound card clone, a new FreeBSD 2.05R. I can hardly replace any of these. I am disappointed greatly : in this case, my new CD-ROM is next to useless. Is there any wordround ? I don't mind hacking the codes but I don't know where to start. In matcd.4 and source codes, it's not mentioned whether future work will include improving the compatiblity of those 3-in-1 or clone adapters. If nobody can help me directly, could you tell me the e-mail address of the author of the driver ? Thanks in advance. -- Yen-Wei Liu
