Has anybody seen this problem? The version of the driver in the CD-ROM version has some problems unfortunately that were just found out. Here's the relavant post. From: Gary Clark II <gclarkii@netport.neosoft.com> Subject: mitsumi CD-ROM's To: freebsd-hackers@freefall.cdrom.com Date: Tue, 11 Jan 1994 06:05:52 -0600 (CST) Cc: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 440 Sender: freebsd-questions-owner@freefall.cdrom.com Precedence: bulk Hi, Ok, I've seen enough questions about the Mitsumi to post this. There is some major brokeness in the 1.0.2 and lower mcd.c probe code. I've got a patch for this here and Rod will be includeing it in the update (I belive). If someone needs the new code, it can be located at netport.neosoft.com in ~pub/misc. I'm going to be working on the interupt and dma code in the near future (workload is getting bad around here...:(). Gary ---- This code is now going into FreeBSD-current after it's completed.
