9. CD-ROM drivers (not for SCSI or IDE/ATAPI drives)

9.1 Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes/TXC/CyDROM support (aztcd.o).


Load command:
        /sbin/modprobe aztcd.o aztcd=[baseaddress]

        Read Documentation/cdrom/aztcd for full information.

9.2 Goldstar R420 CDROM support (gscd.o).

For all kind of other information about the GoldStar R420 CDROM and this Linux device driver there is a WWW-URL Page installed: http://linux.rz.fh-hannover.de/~raupach.


Load command:
        /sbin/modprobe gscd.o gscd=[address]

        The default base address is 0x340.
        This will work for most applications.
        Address selection is accomplished by jumpers PN801-1 to PN801-4
        on the GoldStar Interface Card.
        Appropriate settings are: 0x300, 0x310, 0x320, 0x330, 0x340, 0x350,
        0x360, 0x370, 0x380, 0x390, 0x3A0, 0x3B0, 0x3C0, 0x3D0, 0x3E0, 0x3F0

9.3 Matsushita/Panasonic/Creative, Longshine, TEAC support (sbpcd.o).


Load command:
        /sbin/modprobe sbpcd.o sbpcd=[address], x

        address = ioaddress
        x       = SBPRO setting, read Documentation/cdrom/sbpcd

9.4 Mitsumi (standard) no XA/Multisession support (mcd.o).


Load command:
        /sbin/modprobe mcd.o mcd=0x300,11,0x304,5

9.6 Optics Storage DOLPHIN 8000AT CDROM support (optcd.o).

This is the driver for the so-called 'DOLPHIN' drive, with the 34-pin Sony-compatible interface. For the IDE-compatible Optics Storage 8001 drive, you will want the ATAPI CDROM driver. The driver also seems to work with the Lasermate CR328A.


Load command:
        /sbin/modprobe optcd.o optcd=0x340

        Where parameter is the baseaddress of your card.

9.7 Philips/LMS CM206 CDROM support (cm206.o).

This is the driver for the Philips/LMS cdrom drive cm206 in combination with the cm260 host adapter card.


Load command:
        /sbin/modprobe cm206.o cm206=0x300,11

        Where parameters are the baseport and irq of your card.
        The order of baseport and irq line doesn't matter.
        You may specify only one,
        the other will have the value of the compiled-in default.

9.8 Sanyo CDR-H94A CDROM support (sjcd.o).


Load command:
        /sbin/modprobe sjcd.o sjcd_base=0x340

        isp16_cdrom_irq=<irq>
        isp16_cdrom_dma=<dma>
        isp16_cdrom_type=<drive_type>

        Valid values are:
          port=0x340,0x320,0x330,0x360
          irq=0,3,5,7,9,10,11
          dma=0,3,5,6,7
