-This is a first attempt to create an `improved' driver for the Mitsumi drives.
-It is able to "live together" with mcd.c, if you have at least two Mitsumi
-drives: each driver can use his own drive.
-
-To allow this "coexistence" as long as mcdx.c is not a superset of mcd.c,
-this driver has to use its own device files. We use MAJOR 20 for it. So,
-you have to do
-
- # mknod /dev/mcdx0 b 20 0
- # mknod /dev/mcdx1 b 20 1
-
-and so on, one entry for each drive to support, once.
-
-If you are using the driver as a module, you can specify your ports and IRQs
-like
-
- # insmod mcdx.o mcdx=0x300,11,0x304,5
-
-and so on ("address,IRQ" pairs).
-This will override the configuration in mcdx.h.
-
-This driver:
-
-	o	handles XA (and hopefully) multi session CDs as well as
-		ordinary CDs;
-	o	supports up to 5 drives (of course, you'll need free 
-		IRQs, i/o ports and slots);
-	o	uses much less kernel memory than the standard mcd driver
-		(no extra driver internal buffers!).
-    o   plays audio (like the `old' driver, I hope)
-
-This version doesn't support yet:
-
-	o	shared IRQs (but it seems to be possible - I've successfully
-                connected two drives to the same irq.  So it's `only' a 
-                problem of the driver.)
-
-This driver never will:
-
-	o	Read digital audio (i.e. copy directly), due to missing
-		hardware features.
