mcd

MCD(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    MCD(4)

NAME

     mcd -- Mitsumi CD-ROM driver

SYNOPSIS

     mcd0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10
     options MCD_PROMISC

DESCRIPTION

     The mcd driver provides support for Mitsumi CD-ROM controller and drive on the isa(4) bus.

FILES

     /dev/cd[0-9][a-h]	  block mode Mitsumi CD-ROM devices
     /dev/rmcd[0-9][a-h]  raw mode Mitsumi CD-ROM devices

SEE ALSO

     intro(4), isa(4), ne(4), we(4)

BUGS

     The mcd hardware is  difficult to probe accurately.  Historically, the mcd probe would accept any return values as indicating that an mcd
     drive was present.  Other devices, particularly ne(4) or we(4), would then be incorrectly claimed by the mcd driver.  The driver now only
     accepts result codes known to indicate Mitsumi-compatible CD controllers, but may reject some mcd hardware which  returns other result codes.

     options MCD_PROMISC enables the  original promiscuous probe behaviour. Use with extreme caution.
