The following has just appeared in comp.os.linux.announce: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.announce I have uploaded the latest version (0.3) of my Mitsumi CD-ROM driver to tsx. You can find it in tsx-11:/pub/linux/ALPHA/cdrom/mcd-0.3.tar.Z Note that this is not the same place as the previous release, so you should make sure to download the right one, namely version 0.3. The tar file consists of the driver, a set of kernel patches for 0.99.9 and a Readme file. The patches *may* work on other releases of the kernel, but I have not tested them. The driver requires 0.99.8 or newer. The main difference is the addition of audio support. You can now play your audio disks with programs like xcdplayer. A couple of minor bigs are also fixed. See the Readme for details. I still consider this alpha software; please report any problems you find. Comments, problems, etc. to martin@bdsi.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe this would help you.
