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.

mcd - change MSDOS directory
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the
end of this man page for details.
Description
The mcd command is used to change the mtools working directory on the MS-DOS disk. It uses the following syntax:
mcd [msdosdirectory]
Without arguments, mcd reports the current device and working directory. Otherwise, mcd changes the current device and current working
directory relative to an MS-DOS file system.
The environmental variable MCWD may be used to locate the file where the device and current working directory information is stored. The
default is `$HOME/.mcwd'. Information in this file is ignored if the file is more than 6 hours old.
Mcd returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.
Unlike MS-DOS versions of CD, mcd can be used to change to another device. It may be wise to remove old `.mcwd' files at logout.

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you
to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.
