-This is the readme file for the driver for the Philips/LMS cdrom drive
-cm206 in combination with the cm260 host adapter card. 
-
-				(c) 1995 David A. van Leeuwen
-   
-Features as of version 0.33
----------------------------
-- Full audio support, that is, both  workman, workbone and cdp work
-  now reasonably. Reading TOC still takes some time. xmcd has been
-  reported to run successfully. 
-- Made auto-probe code a little better, i hope
-
-Features as of version 0.28
----------------------------
-- Full speed stransfer rate (300 kB/s).
-- Minimum kernel memory usage for buffering (less than 3 kB).
-- Multisession support.
-- Tray locking.
-- Statistcics of driver accessible to the user.
-- Module support.
-- Auto-probing of adapter card's base port and irq line,
-  also configurable at boot time or module load time.
-
-Features still lacking
-----------------------
-- cm205ms+cm250 support. (I do have cm205ms docs now. I still have to
-  study Kai Petzke's cm205 drives to understand the workings of the
-  cm250 adapter card. Don't bet on me, write a driver yourself!)
-
-
-Decide how you are going to use the driver. There are two
-options:
-
-   (a) installing the driver as a resident part of the kernel
-   (b) compiling the driver as a loadable module
-
-   Further, you must decide if you are going to specify the base port
-   address and the interrupt request line of the adapter card cm260 as
-   boot options for (a), module parameters for (b), use automatic
-   probing of these values, or hard-wire your adaptor cards settings
-   into the source code. If you don't care, you can choose for
-   autoprobing, which is the default. In that case you can move on to
-   the next step.
-
-Compiling the kernel
---------------------
-1) move to /usr/src/linux and do a 
-
-	make config
-
-   If you have chosen for option (a), answer yes to CONFIG_CM206 and
-   CONFIG_ISO9660_FS.
-
-   If you have chosen for option (b), answer yes to CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
-   and no (!) to CONFIG_CM206 and CONFIG_ISO9660_FS. 
-
-2) then do a 
-	
-	make dep; make clean; make zImage; make modules
-
-3) do the usual things to install a new image (backup the old one, run
-   `rdev -R zImage 1', copy the new image in place, run lilo).  Might
-   be `make zlilo'.
-
-Using the driver as a module
-----------------------------
-If you will only seldomly use the cd-rom driver, you can choose for
-option (b), install as a loadable module. You may have to re-compile
-the module when you upgrade the kernel to a new version. Read the file
-`README.modules' in /usr/src/linux. To install the module, you use the 
-command, as root
-
-	insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/cm206.o
-
-You can specify the base address on the command line as well as the irq 
-line to be used, e.g.
-
-	insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/cm206.o cm206=0x300,11
-
-The order of base port and irq line don't matter; you may specify only
-one, the other will have the value of the compiled-in default.  You
-may also have to install the file-system module `iso9660.o', if you
-didn't compile that into the kernel. (If you use `tcsh' as shell, you
-might consider defining
-
-	alias listinstalledmodules 'cat /proc/modules | awk \{print\$1\}'
-	complete rmmod		'p/1/`listinstalledmodules`/'
-	alias listcompiledmodules '(cd /usr/src/linux/modules; \ls -o *.o)'
-	alias insmod		'insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/\!:1 \!:2*'
-	complete insmod		'p/1/`listcompiledmodules`/'
-
-which makes typing insmod and rmmod somewhat easier.)
-
-Using the driver as part of the kernel
---------------------------------------
-If you have chosen for option a, you can specify the base-port
-address and irq on the lilo boot command line, e.g.:
-
-	LILO: linux cm206=0x340,11
-
-This assumes that your linux kernel image keyword is `linux'. 
-If you may specify either IRQ (3--11) or base port (0x300--0x370),
-auto probing is turned off for both settings, thus setting the 
-other value to the compiled-in default.
-
-If module parameters and LILO config options don't work
--------------------------------------------------------
-If autoprobing does not work, you can hard-wire the default values
-of the base port address (CM206_BASE) and interrupt request line
-(CM206_IRQ) into the file ./include/linux/cm206.h. Change
-the defines of CM206_IRQ and CM206_BASE.
-
-
-
-Mounting the cdrom
-------------------
-1) Make sure that there is the right device installed in /dev.
-
-  	mknod /dev/cm206cd b 32 0
-
-2) Make sure there is a mount point, e.g., /cdrom 
-
-	mkdir /cdrom
-
-3) mount using a command like this (run as root):
-
-	mount -rt iso9660 /dev/cm206cd /cdrom
-
-4) For user-mounts, add a line in /etc/fstab
-
-	/dev/cm206cd      /cdrom     iso9660 	ro,noauto,user
-
-   This will allow users to give the commands
-
-	mount /cdrom
-	umount /cdrom
-
-If things don't work
---------------------
-
-- Try to do a `tail /var/adm/messages' to find out if the driver
-  said anything about what is going wrong during the initialization.
-
-- Try to do a `dd if=/dev/cm206cd | od -tc | less' to read from the
-  CD.
-
-- Look in the /proc directory to see if `cm206' shows up under
-  one of `interrupts', `ioports', `devices' or `modules' (if
-  applicable). 
-
-
-DISCLAIMER 
----------- 
-I cannot guarantee that this driver works, or that the hardware will
-not be harmed, although i consider it most unlikely. 
-
-I hope that you'll find this driver in some way useful.

-Note for Linux CDROM vendors
------------------------------
-You are encouraged to include this driver on your Linux CDROM. If
-you do, you might consider sending me a free copy of that cd-rom.
-You can contact me through my e-mail address, david@tm.tno.nl. 
-If this driver is compiled into a kernel to boot off a cdrom, 
-you should actually send me a free copy of that cd-rom.
