This file is meant as a tips & tricks edge for the usage of the SANYO CDR-H94A
cdrom drive. It will grow as the questions arise. ;-)

The driver should work with any SoundBlaster/Panasonic style CDROM interface,
including the "soft configurable" MediaMagic sound card.
To make this sound card (and others like "Mozart") working, it has to get 
"configured" by software.
So, you should boot DOS once (and by this, run the "configuration driver")
and then switch to Linux by use of CTL-ALT-DEL. Each use of the RESET
button or the power switch makes this procedure necessary again.

Vadim has implemented a Linux "configuration driver" to set up the
registers of the MediaMagic (ISP-16) sound card. These routines have to get
integrated into the related CDROM and sound drivers directly at a later
time. Currently, they reside at Vadim's server
      rbrf.msk.su:/linux/mediamagic/
and at Eberhard's mirror
      ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/cdrom/drivers/sanyo/

Leo Spiekman's configuration routines for the ISP-16 card can get found at
      dutette.et.tudelft.nl:/pub/linux/
and at Eberhard's mirror
      ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/cdrom/drivers/optics/

If something is wrong, e-mail to                vadim@rbrf.msk.su
                                        or      vadim@ipsun.ras.ru
                                        or      model@cecmow.enet.dec.com

It happens sometimes that Vadim is not reachable by mail. For these
instances, Eric van der Maarel (maarel@marin.nl) will help, too.
