Other CD ROMS

This section contains options for CD ROM devices that are neither SCSI or

IDE/ATAPI devices.

aztcd=iobase[,magic number]

The Aztech interface uses these options. If the magic

number is set to 0x79 the driver will continue to try to

function even when the firmware version is unknown.

Any other magic number will be ignored by the driver.

cdu31a=iobase[,irq[,is pas card]]

This argument is used to configure the Pro Audio

Spectrum cards as well as some Sony supplied interface

cards. Passing an irq value of 0 tells the driver that

the card does not support interrupts. If the card does

support them you are encouraged to use the interrupt,

as it will ease the CPU load. If the card is a Pro Audio

Spectrum then the is pas card parameter should be

PAS.

sonycd535=iobase[,irq]

Used by the Sony CDU 535 interface card, the iobase

passed as 0 to act as a placeholder when an irq needs to

be specified.

gscd=iobase

Used by the GoldStar interface.

mcd=iobase[,irq[,wait value]]

Used by Mitsumi Standard interface cards, the

wait value is for devices that are having trouble

with time outs, but should be used with care as some

implementations of the driver don't support this option.

Whether or not it is implemented depends on a compile

time DEFINE.

mcdx= For the Mitsumi XA/Multisession interface experi 

mental.
