-	Goldstar R420 CD-Rom device driver README
-
-For all kind of other information about the GoldStar R420 CDROM
-and this Linux device driver is a WWW-URL Page installed:
-
-        http://linux.rz.fh-hannover.de/~raupach        
-
-
-      If you are the editor of a Linux CD, you should
-      enable gscd.c within your boot floppy kernel. Please,
-      send me one of your CDs for free.
-
-
-This current driver version 0.4a only supports reading data from the disk.
-Currently we have no audio and no multisession or XA support.
-The polling interface is used, no DMA.
-
-
-Sometimes the GoldStar R420 is sold in a 'Reveal Multimedia Kit'. This kit's
-drive interface is compatible, too.
-
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-Change to '/usr/src/linux/include/linux' and edit the file 'gscd.h'. Insert
-the i/o address of your interface card.
-
-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             
-
-Then go back to '/usr/src/linux/' and 'make config' to build the new
-configuration for your kernel. If you want to use the GoldStar driver
-like a module, don't select 'GoldStar CDROM support'. By the way, you
-have to include the iso9660 filesystem.
-
-Now start compiling the kernel with 'make dep ; make zImage'.
-If you want to use the driver as a module, you have to do 'make modules' 
-and 'make modules_install', additionally.
-Install your new kernel as usual - maybe you do it with 'make zlilo'.
-
-Before you can use the driver, you have to
-   mknod /dev/gscd0 b 16 0
-to create the appropriate device file (once for all times).
-
-If you use modules, you can try to insert the driver.
-Say: 'insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/gscd.o'
-or:  'insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/gscd.o gscd=<address>'
-The driver should report his results now.
-
-That's it! Mount a disk, i.e. 'mount -rt iso9660 /dev/gscd0 /cdrom'
-
-Feel free to report errors and suggestions to the following address.
-Be sure, I'm very happy to receive your comments!
