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/drivers/cdrom' 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 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 (you only need to do this once). - -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 its results. - -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! - - Oliver Raupach Hannover, Juni 1995 -(raupach@nwfs1.rz.fh-hannover.de) |
