+This is the README for the sjcd cdrom driver, version 1.5.
+
+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. ;-)
+Since the drive often comes with an ISP16 soundcard, which can be used
+as cdrom interface, this is also the place for ISP16 related issues.
+
+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.
+The suggestion to configure the ISP16 soundcard by booting DOS and 
+a warm reboot to boot Linux somehow doesn't work, at least not
+on Eric's machine (IPC P90), with the version of the ISP16
+card he has (there appear to be at least two versions: Eric's card with
+no jumpered IDE support and OPTi 82C928 chip, and Vadim's version
+with a jumper to enable IDE support, probably with a OPTi 82C929 chip).
+Therefore detection and configuration of the ISP16 interfaces is included
+in the driver.
+If we should support any other interfaces (which cannot be configured
+through DOS) or if there are any more ISP16 types, please let us
+know (maarel@marin.nl) and we'll see.
+
+Otherwise, you should boot DOS once (and by this, run the "configuration driver")
+and then switch to Linux by use of CTRL-ALT-DEL. Each use of the RESET
+button or the power switch makes this procedure necessary again.
+If no ISP16 is detected, there's no harm done; a card configured trough DOS
+may still work as expected.
+
+As of version 1.4 sound through the speakers is supported; only for MSS-mode 
+and no volume controle yet.
+
+PAUSE and STOP ioctl commands don't seem to work yet.
+
+ISP16 configuration routines reside at Vadim's server
+      ftp.rbrf.ru:/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/
+
+Eric van der Maarel's routines are included in sjcd.c.
+This, and any related stuff may be found by anonymous ftp at
+      ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/cdrom/drivers/sanyo/
+
+The device major for sjcd is 18, and minor is 0. Create a block special
+file in your /dev directory (e.g., /dev/sjcd) with these numbers.
+(For those who don't know, being root and doing the following should do the trick:
+  mknod -m 644 /dev/sjcd b 18 0
+and mount the cdrom by /dev/sjcd).
+
+The default configuration parameters are:
+  base address 0x340
+  no irq
+  no dma
+As of version 1.2, setting base address, irq and dma at boot time is supported
+through the use of command line options: type at the "boot:" prompt:
+  linux sjcd=<base address>,<irq>,<dma>
+(where your kernel is assumed to be called by saying "linux" to
+the boot manager).
+
+If something is wrong, e-mail to		vadim@rbrf.ru
+					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.
