Hi there,
	I have a Matsushita/Panasonic CR-522-B CD-ROM drive, AT interface,
and I'm after low level programming information, ie NOT the DOS driver
interface. I need this to write a device driver for 386BSD UNIX. I have
asked the countries' Panasonic people and they don't have the info (they 
will have to ask Japan). The drive is connected by a small card that 
comes with it (LMEP0084B or equiv [Matsushit part #]) and will have the same
programming interface as the Sound Galaxy card, as they provide the DOS Sound
Galaxy driver with it (and it works!).

	If you have any information that will help me, or pointers where to
look, please send me some mail, etc.

Thanks,
Greg
