Hi,

I have recently moved one of my Panasonic CD-ROM drives over to a FreeBSD
system. It uses a proprietary interface card (by Toptek Micro Computer Inc)
that handles several types of drives (sony/mitsumi/panasonic/philips).

I have set the I/O address to one of the values in the options.h file
(0x260) and upon boot up I get the following...

matcd0: get_stat: After reading status byte, bus didn't go idle ff f7 260

over and over again. The drive is a 562-J and I'm running under 2.0.5-RELEASE.

Has anyone else seen this? 

cheers
alex
