+
+1. NOTE
+This software has been successfully in alpha and beta test for quite a long
+time with AZTECH CDA268-01A, ORCHID CDS-3110 and ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110
+and has proven to be stable with kernel versions 1.0.9 to 1.2.0. But with
+any software there still may be bugs in it. So if you encounter problems,
+you are invited to help us improve this software. Please send me a detailed
+bug report (see chapter BUG REPORTS). You are also invited in helping us to
+increase the number of drives, which are supported.
+
+Please read the README-files carefully and always keep a backup copy of your
+old kernel, in order to reboot if something goes wrong!
+
+
+2. INSTALLATION
+If you received this software as a standalone package AZTECH.CDROM.Vxx.tgz
+(xx=version number) and not included in the standard Linux kernel, read the
+file AZTECH.CDROM.README included in that package to install it. The
+standalone package's home is 'ftp.gwdg.de : pub/linux/cdrom/drivers/aztech'.
+The driver consists of a header file 'aztcd.h', which normally should reside
+in /usr/include/linux and the source code 'aztcd.c', which normally resides in
+/usr/src/linux/drivers/block. It uses /dev/aztcd0, which must be a valid block
+device with major number 29 and reside in directory /dev. To mount a CD-ROM,
+your kernel needs to have the ISO9660-filesystem support included.
+
+
+3. CONFIGURING YOUR KERNEL
+If your kernel is already configured for using the AZTECH driver you will
+see the following message while Linux boots:
+ Aztech CD-ROM Init: DriverVersion=<version number> BaseAddress=<baseaddress>
+ Aztech CD-ROM Init: FirmwareVersion=<firmware version id of your I/O-card>>>
+ Aztech CD-ROM Init: <drive type> detected
+ Aztech CD-ROM Init: End
+If the message looks different and you are sure to have a supported drive,
+it may have a different base address. The Aztech driver does look for the
+CD-ROM drive at the base address specified in aztcd.h at compile time. This
+address can be overwritten by boot parameter aztcd=....You should reboot and
+start Linux with boot parameter aztcd=<base address>, e.g. aztcd=0x320. If
+you do not know the base address, start your PC with DOS and look at the boot
+message of your CD-ROM's DOS driver. If that still does not help, use boot
+parameter aztcd=<base address>,0x79 , this tells aztcd to try a little harder.
+
+If the message looks correct, as user 'root' you should be able to mount the
+drive by
+ mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/aztcd0 /mnt
+and use it as any other filesystem. (If this does not work, check if
+ /dev/aztcd0 and /mnt do exist and create them, if necessary by doing
+ mknod /dev/aztcd0 b 29 0
+ mkdir /mnt
+
+If you still get a different message while Linux boots or when you get the
+message, that the ISO9660-filesystem is not supported by your kernel, when
+you try to mount the CD-ROM drive, you have to recompile your kernel.
+
+If you do *not* have an Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes drive and want to bypass
+drive detection during Linux boot up, start with boot parameter aztcd=0.
+
+Joe Nardone has compiled a boot disk with the Aztech driver for installing
+Slackware from CDROM. You can find the disk images at 'sunsite.unc.edu';
+see file 'aztech.gz.README' for instructions on how to use it.
+
+
+4. RECOMPILING YOUR KERNEL
+If your kernel is not yet configured for the AZTECH driver and the ISO9660-
+filesystem, you have to recompile your kernel:
+
+- Edit aztcd.h to set the I/O-address to your I/O-Base address (AZT_BASE_ADDR),
+ the driver does not use interrupts or DMA, so if you are using an AZTECH
+ CD268, an ORCHID CD-3110 or ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110 that's the only item you
+ have to set up. If you have a soundcard, read chapter 4.2.
+ Users of other drives should read chapter OTHER DRIVES of this file.
+ You also can configure that address by LILO boot parameter aztcd=...
+- There are some other points, which may be configured, e.g. auto-eject the
+ CD when umounting a drive, tray locking etc., see aztcd.h for details.
+- Build a new kernel, configure it for 'Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes support'
+ (if you want aztcd to be part of the kernel). Do not configure it for
+ 'Aztech... support', if you want to use aztcd as a run time loadable module.
+ But in any case you must have the ISO9660-filesystem included in your
+ kernel.
+- Activate the new kernel, normally this is done by running lilo (don't for-
+ get to configure it before and to keep a copy of your old kernel in case
+ something goes wrong!).
+- Reboot
+- If you've included aztcd in your kernel, you now should see during boot
+ some messages like
+ Aztech CD-ROM Init: DriverVersion=<version number> BaseAddress=<baseaddress>
+ Aztech CD-ROM Init: FirmwareVersion=<firmware version id of your I/O-card>
+ Aztech CD-ROM Init: <drive type> detected
+ Aztech CD-ROM Init: End
+- If you have not included aztcd in your kernel, but want to load aztcd as a
+ run time loadable module see 4.1.
+- If the message looks correct, as user 'root' you should be able to mount
+ the drive by
+ mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/aztcd0 /mnt
+ and use it as any other filesystem. (If this does not work, check if
+ /dev/aztcd0 and /mnt do exist and create them, if necessary by doing
+ mknod /dev/aztcd0 b 29 0
+ mkdir /mnt
+- If this still does not help, see chapters OTHER DRIVES and DEBUGGING.
+
+4.1 AZTCD AS A RUN-TIME LOADABLE MODULE
+If you do not need aztcd permanently, you can also load and remove the driver
+during runtime via insmod and rmmod. To build aztcd as a loadable module you
+must *not* configure your kernel for AZTECH support. Nevertheless, you may
+run into problems, if the version of your boot kernel is not the same than
+the source kernel version, from which you create the modules. So rebuild your
+kernel, if necessary.
+
+Now edit the base address of your AZTECH interface card in
+/usr/src/linux/include/linux/aztcd.h to the appropriate value. There are
+also some special features which may be configured, e.g. auto-eject a CD
+when unmounting the drive etc; see aztcd.h for details. Then change
+to /usr/src/linux and do a
+ make modules
+ make modules_install
+After that you can run-time load the driver via
+ insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o
+and remove it via rmmod aztcd.
+If you did not set the correct base address in aztcd.h, you can also supply the
+base address when loading the driver via
+ insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o aztcd=<base address>
+If you do not have the iso9660-filesystem in your boot kernel, you also have
+to load it before you can mount the CDROM:
+ insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/fs/isofs.o
+The mount procedure works as described in 4. above.
+(In all commands 'X.X.X' is the current linux kernel version number. For details
+see file README.modules in /usr/src/linux.)
+
+4.2 CDROM CONNECTED TO A SOUNDCARD
+Most soundcards do have a bus interface to the CDROM-drive. In many cases
+this soundcard needs to be configured, before the CDROM can be used. This
+configuration procedure consists of writing some kind of initialization
+data to the soundcard registers. The AZTECH-CDROM driver in the moment does
+only support one type of soundcard (SoundWave32). Users of other soundcards
+should try to boot DOS first and let their DOS drivers initialize the
+soundcard and CDROM, then warm boot (or use loadlin) their PC to start
+Linux.
+Support for the CDROM-interface of SoundWave32-soundcards is directly
+implemented in the AZTECH driver. Please edit /usr/src/linux/include/aztdc.h,
+uncomment line '#define AZT_SW32' and set the appropiate value for
+AZT_BASE_ADDR and AZT_SW32_BASE_ADDR. This support was tested with an Orchid
+CDS-3110 connected to a SoundWave32.
+If you want your soundcard to be supported, find out, how it needs to be
+configured and mail me (see 6.) the appropriate information.
+
+5. KNOWN PROBLEMS, FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
+5.1 MULTISESSION SUPPORT
+Multisession support for CD's still is a myth. I implemented and tested a basic
+support for multisession and XA CDs, but I still have not enough CDs and appli-
+cations to test it rigourously. So if you'd like to help me, please contact me
+(Email address see below). As of version 1.4 and newer you can enable the
+multisession support in aztcd.h by setting AZT_MULTISESSION to 1. Doing so
+will cause the ISO9660-filesystem to deal with multisession CDs, ie. redirect
+requests to the Table of Contents (TOC) information from the last session,
+which contains the info of all previous sessions etc.. If you do set
+AZT_MULTISESSION to 0, you can use multisession CDs anyway. In that case the
+drive's firmware will do automatic redirection. For the ISO9660-filesystem any
+multisession CD will then look like a 'normal' single session CD. But never-
+theless the data of all sessions is viewable and accessible. So with practical-
+ly all real world applications you won't notice the difference. But as future
+applications may make use of advanced multisession features, I've started to
+implement the interface for the ISO9660 multisession interface via ioctl
+CDROMMULTISESSION.
+
+5.2 STATUS RECOGNITION
+The drive status recognition does not work correctly in all cases. Changing
+a disk or having the door open, when a drive is already mounted, is detected
+by the Aztech driver itself, but nevertheless causes multiple read attempts
+by the different layers of the ISO9660-filesystem driver, which finally timeout,
+so you have to wait quite a little... But isn't it bad style to change a disk
+in a mounted drive, anyhow ?!
+
+The driver uses busy wait in most cases for the drive handshake (macros
+STEN_LOW and DTEN_LOW). I tested with a 486/DX2 at 66MHz and a Pentium at
+60MHz. Whenever you use a much faster machine you are likely to get timeout
+messages. In that case edit aztcd.h and increase the timeout value AZT_TIMEOUT.
+
+For some 'slow' drive commands I implemented waiting with a timer waitqueue
+(macro STEN_LOW_WAIT). If you get this timeout message, you may also edit
+aztcd.h and increase the timeout value AZT_STATUS_DELAY. The waitqueue has
+shown to be a little critical. If you get kernel panic messages, edit aztcd.c
+and substitute STEN_LOW_WAIT by STEN_LOW. Busy waiting with STEN_LOW is more
+stable, but also causes CPU overhead.
+
+5.3 DOSEMU's CD-ROM SUPPORT
+With release 1.20 aztcd was modified to allow access to CD-ROMS when running
+under dosemu-0.60. aztcd-versions before 1.20 are most likely to crash
+Linux, when a CD-ROM is accessed under dosemu. This problem has partly been
+fixed, but still when accessing a directory for the first time the system
+might hang for some 30sec. So be patient, when using dosemu's CD-ROM support
+in combination with aztcd :-) ! Unfortunately up to now, I could not locate
+the root cause of that problem. It seems to be somewhere in the interaction
+of the kernel with dosemu's and aztcd's buffers. I appreciate any help on
+this subject !
+This problem has now (July 1995) been fixed by a modification to dosemu's
+CD-ROM driver, but it is unclear, with which version of dosemu this modi-
+fication will officially be included.
+
+6. BUG REPORTS
+Please send detailed bug reports and bug fixes via EMail to
+
+ zimmerma@rz.fht-esslingen.de
+
+Please include a description of your CD-ROM drive type and interface card,
+the exact firmware message during Linux bootup, the version number of the
+AZTECH-CDROM-driver and the Linux kernel version. Also a description of your
+system's other hardware could be of interest, especially microprocessor type,
+clock frequency, other interface cards such as soundcards, ethernet adapter,
+game cards etc..
+
+I will try to collect the reports and make the necessary modifications from
+time to time. I may also come back to you directly with some bug fixes and
+ask you to do further testing and debugging.
+
+Editors of CD-ROMs are invited to send a 'cooperation' copy of their
+CD-ROMs to the volunteers, who provided the CD-ROM support for Linux. My
+snail mail address for such 'stuff' is

+
+7. OTHER DRIVES
+The following drives ORCHID CDS3110, OKANO CDD110 and WEARNES nearly look
+the same as AZTECH CDA268-01A, especially they seem to use the same command
+codes. So it was quite simple to make the AZTECH driver work with these drives.
+
+Unfortunately I do not have any of these drives available, so I couldn't test
+it myself. But I've got reports, that it works with ORCHID CDS3110 and Game-
+Wave32 sound cards and also with WEARNES CDD110 in some different combinations.
+In some installations, it seems necessary to initialize the drive with the DOS
+driver before (especially if combined with a sound card) and then do a warm
+boot (CTRL-ALT-RESET) or start Linux from DOS, e.g. with 'loadlin'.
+
+If you do not succeed, read chapter DEBUGGING. Thanks in advance!
+
+Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is difficult to develop for hardware,
+which you don't have available for testing. So if you like, please help us.
+
+
+8. DEBUGGING : IF YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY THE FOLLOWING
+-reread the complete README file
+-make sure, that your drive is hardware configured for
+ transfer mode: polled
+ IRQ: not used
+ DMA: not used
+ Base Address: something like 300, 320 ...
+ You can check this, when you start the DOS driver, which came with your
+ drive. By appropriately configuring the drive and the DOS driver you can
+ check, whether your drive does operate in this mode correctly under DOS. If
+ it does not operate under DOS, it won't under Linux.
+ Make sure the Base Address is configured correctly in aztcd.h, also make
+ sure, that /dev/aztcd0 exists with the correct major number (compare it with
+ the entry in file /usr/include/linux/major.h for the Aztech drive).
+-insert a CD-ROM and close the tray
+-cold boot your PC (i.e. via the power on switch or the reset button)
+-if you start Linux via DOS, e.g. using loadlin, make sure, that the DOS
+ driver for the CD-ROM drive is not loaded (comment out the calling lines
+ in DOS' config.sys!)
+-look for the aztcd: init message during Linux init and note them exactly
+-log in as root and do a mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt
+-if you don't succeed in the first time, try several times. Try also to open
+ and close the tray, then mount again. Please note carefully all commands
+ you typed in and the aztcd-messages, which you get.
+-if you get an 'Aztech CD-ROM init: aborted' message, read the remarks about
+ the version string below.
+
+If this does not help, do the same with the following differences
+-start DOS before; make now sure, that the DOS driver for the CD-ROM is
+ loaded under DOS (i.e. uncomment it again in config.sys)
+-warm boot your PC (i.e. via CTRL-ALT-DEL)
+ if you have it, you can also start via loadlin (try both).
+ ...
+ Again note all commands and the aztcd-messages.
+
+If you see STEN_LOW or STEN_LOW_WAIT error messages, increase the timeout
+values.
+
+If this still does not help,
+-look in aztcd.c for the lines #if 0
+ #define AZT_TEST1
+ ...
+ #endif
+ and substitute '#if 0' by '#if 1'.
+-recompile your kernel and repeat the above two procedures. You will now get
+ a bundle of debugging messages from the driver. Again note your commands
+ and the appropriate messages. If you have syslogd running, these messages
+ may also be found in syslogd's kernel log file. Nevertheless in some
+ installations syslogd does not yet run, when init() is called, thus look for
+ the aztcd-messages during init, before the login-prompt appears.
+ Then look in aztcd.c, to find out, what happened. The normal calling sequence
+ is: aztcd_init() during Linux bootup procedure init()
+ after doing a 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt' the normal calling sequence is
+ aztcd_open() -> Status 2c after cold reboot with CDROM or audio CD inserted
+ -> Status 8 after warm reboot with CDROM inserted
+ -> Status 2e after cold reboot with no disk, closed tray
+ -> Status 6e after cold reboot, mount with door open
+ aztUpdateToc()
+ aztGetDiskInfo()
+ aztGetQChannelInfo() repeated several times
+ aztGetToc()
+ aztGetQChannelInfo() repeated several times
+ a list of track informations
+ do_aztcd_request() }
+ azt_transfer() } repeated several times
+ azt_poll }
+ Check, if there is a difference in the calling sequence or the status flags!
+
+ There are a lot of other messages, eg. the ACMD-command code (defined in
+ aztcd.h), status info from the getAztStatus-command and the state sequence of
+ the finite state machine in azt_poll(). The most important are the status
+ messages, look how they are defined and try to understand, if they make
+ sense in the context where they appear. With a CD-ROM inserted the status
+ should always be 8, except in aztcd_open(). Try to open the tray, insert a
+ audio disk, insert no disk or reinsert the CD-ROM and check, if the status
+ bits change accordingly. The status bits are the most likely point, where
+ the drive manufacturers may implement changes.
+
+If you still don't succeed, a good point to start is to look in aztcd.c in
+function aztcd_init, where the drive should be detected during init. Do the
+following:
+-reboot the system with boot parameter 'aztcd=<your base address>,0x79'. With
+ parameter 0x79 most of the drive version detection is bypassed. After that
+ you should see the complete version string including leading and trailing
+ blanks during init.
+ Now adapt the statement
+ if ((result[1]=='A')&&(result[2]=='Z' ...)
+ in aztcd_init() to exactly match the first 3 or 4 letters you have seen.
+-Another point is the 'smart' card detection feature in aztcd_init(). Normally
+ the CD-ROM drive is ready, when aztcd_init is trying to read the version
+ string and a time consuming ACMD_SOFT_RESET command can be avoided. This is
+ detected by looking, if AFL_OP_OK can be read correctly. If the CD-ROM drive
+ hangs in some unknown state, e.g. because of an error before a warm start or
+ because you first operated under DOS, even the version string may be correct,
+ but the following commands will not. Then change the code in such a way,
+ that the ACMD_SOFT_RESET is issued in any case, by substituting the
+ if-statement 'if ( ...=AFL_OP_OK)' by 'if (1)'.
+
+If you succeed, please mail may the exact version string of your drive and
+the code modifications, you have made together with a short explanation.
+If you don't succeed, you may mail me the output of the debugging messages.
+But remember, they are only useful, if they are exact and complete and you
+describe in detail your hardware setup and what you did (cold/warm reboot,
+with/without DOS, DOS-driver started/not started, which Linux-commands etc.)
+
+
+9. TECHNICAL HISTORY OF THE DRIVER
+The AZTECH-Driver is a rework of the Mitsumi-Driver. Four major items had to
+be reworked:
+
+a) The Mitsumi drive does issue complete status information acknowledging
+each command, the Aztech drive does only signal that the command was
+processed. So whenever the complete status information is needed, an extra
+ACMD_GET_STATUS command is issued. The handshake procedure for the drive
+can be found in the functions aztSendCmd(), sendAztCmd() and getAztStatus().
+
+b) The Aztech Drive does not have a ACMD_GET_DISK_INFO command, so the
+necessary info about the number of tracks (firstTrack, lastTrack), disk
+length etc. has to be read from the TOC in the lead in track (see function
+aztGetDiskInfo()).
+
+c) Whenever data is read from the drive, the Mitsumi drive is started with a
+command to read an indefinite (0xffffff) number of sectors. When the appropriate
+number of sectors is read, the drive is stopped by a ACDM_STOP command. This
+does not work with the Aztech drive. I did not find a way to stop it. The
+stop and pause commands do only work in AUDIO mode but not in DATA mode.
+Therefore I had to modify the 'finite state machine' in function azt_poll to
+only read a certain number of sectors and then start a new read on demand. As I
+have not completely understood, how the buffer/caching scheme of the Mitsumi
+driver was implemented, I am not sure, if I have covered all cases correctly,
+whenever you get timeout messages, the bug is most likely to be in that
+function azt_poll() around switch(cmd) .... case ACD_S_DATA.
+
+d) I did not get information about changing drive mode. So I doubt, that the
+code around function azt_poll() case AZT_S_MODE does work. In my test I have
+not been able to switch to reading in raw mode. For reading raw mode, Aztech
+uses a different command than for cooked mode, which I only have implemen-
+ted in the ioctl-section but not in the section which is used by the ISO9660-
+
+The driver was developed on an AST PC with Intel 486/DX2, 8MB RAM, 340MB IDE
+hard disk and on an AST PC with Intel Pentium 60MHz, 16MB RAM, 520MB IDE
+running Linux kernel version 1.0.9 from the LST 1.8 Distribution. The kernel
+was compiled with gcc.2.5.8. My CD-ROM drive is an Aztech CDA268-01A. My
+drive says, that it has Firmware Version AZT26801A1.3. It came with a ISA-bus
+interface card and works with polled I/O without DMA and without interrupts.
+The code for all other drives was 'remote' tested and debugged by a number of
+volunteers on the Internet.
+
+Points, where I feel that possible problems might be and all points where I
+did not completely understand the drive's behaviour or trust my own code are
+marked with /*???*/ in the source code. There are also some parts in the
+Mitsumi driver, where I did not completely understand their code.
+
+
+10. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
+Without the help of P.Bush, Aztech, who delivered technical information
+about the Aztech Drive and without the help of E.Moenkeberg, GWDG, who did a
+great job in analyzing the command structure of various CD-ROM drives, this
+work would not have been possible. E.Moenkeberg was also a great help in
+making the software 'kernel ready' and in answering many of the CDROM-related
+questions in the newsgroups. He really is *the* Linux CD-ROM guru. Thanks
+also to all the guys on the Internet, who collected valuable technical
+information about CDROMs.
+
+Joe Nardone (joe@access.digex.net) was a patient tester even for my first
+trial, which was more than slow, and made suggestions for code improvement.
+Especially the 'finite state machine' azt_poll() was rewritten by Joe to get
+clean C code and avoid the ugly 'gotos', which I copied from mcd.c.
+
+Robby Schirmer (schirmer@fmi.uni-passau.de) tested the audio stuff (ioctls)
+and suggested a lot of patches for them.
+
+Joseph Piskor and Peter Nugent were the first users with the ORCHID CD3110
+and also were very patient with the problems which occurred.
+
+Reinhard Max delivered the information for the CDROM-interface of the
+SoundWave32 soundcards.
+
+Anybody, who is interested in these items should have a look at 'ftp.gwdg.de',
+directory 'pub/linux/cdrom' and at 'ftp.cdrom.com', directory 'pub/cdrom'.
+
+11. PROGRAMMING ADD ONs: cdplay.c
+You can use the ioctl-functions included in aztcd.c in your own programs. As
+an example on how to do this, you will find a tiny CD Player for audio CDs
+named 'cdplay.c'. It allows you to play audio CDs. You can play a specified
+track, pause and resume or skip tracks forward and backwards. If you quit the
+program without stopping the drive, playing is continued. You can also
+(mis)use cdplay to read and hexdump data disks.
+'cdplay.c' can be found as a separate file in package AZTECH.CDROM.Vxx.tgz.
+If you don't have it, you can find the code in the APPENDIX of this file,
+which you should cut out with an editor and store in a separate file
+'cdplay.c'. To compile it and make it executable, do
+ gcc -s -Wall -O2 -L/usr/lib cdplay.c -o /usr/local/bin/cdplay # compiles it
+ chmod +755 /usr/local/bin/cdplay # makes it executable
+ ln -s /dev/aztcd0 /dev/cdrom # creates a link
+ (for /usr/lib substitute the top level directory, where your include files
+ reside, and for /usr/local/bin the directory, where you want the executable
+ binary to reside )
+
+You have to set the correct permissions for cdplay *and* for /dev/mcd0 or
+/dev/aztcd0 in order to use it. Remember, that you should not have /dev/cdrom
+mounted, when you're playing audio CDs.
+
+This program is just a hack for testing the ioctl-functions in aztcd.c, I will
+not maintain it, so if you run into problems, discard it or have a look into
+the source code 'cdplay.c'. The program does only contain a minimum of user
+protection and input error detection. If you use the commands in the wrong
+order or if you try to read a CD at wrong addresses, you may get error messages
+or even hang your machine. If you get STEN_LOW, STEN_LOW_WAIT or segment violation
+error messages when using cdplay, after that, the system might not be stable
+any more, so you'd better reboot. As the ioctl-functions run in kernel mode,
+most normal Linux-multitasking protection features do not work. By using
+uninitialized 'wild' pointers etc., it is easy to write to other users data and
+program areas, destroy kernel tables etc.. So if you experiment with ioctls
+as always when you are doing systems programming and kernel hacking, you
+should have a backup copy of your system in a safe place (and you also
+should try before, how to restore from a backup copy)!
