Hello Sylvain,

     Defect.  What do you mean, irq init. (see, I am on topic)
     Any drive will reset when first queried.
 SL> ...if you know about the unknown switches in the driver...
 I use the driver that came with the Sound Galaxy Pro 16.
                      SGCDM.SYS
 /D:devicename
 /M:nn   buffers (conventional memory) [2-64]
 /X:nn   buffers (extended memory)     [2-64]
 /T:n    dma channel  [0,1,3] (also, set a jumper on the soundcard)
 Also to be set on the soundcard, through software;
 set cdrom enabled,disabled
 cd interface type [Mitsumi/Sony,Panasonic,both enabled,both disabled]
 mitsumi irq [11,12,15]
 If you have a reply to this, let's _try_ netmail.
 Again everybody, I'm trying to figure out how I can make a driver that loads
 before the cdrom driver. It will set the soundcard cdrom type data.
 I assume I have to output data to a port.
 Where is the port? (address)   What data?
Kind regards, Barry
