80% of the work takes 20% of the time, 20% of the work takes 80% of the time... (Murphy law) Once started, training can not be stopped... (StarWars) 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. Vadim V. Model, Eric van der Maarel, Eberhard Moenkeberg
