+This is the readme file for the driver for the Philips/LMS cdrom drive
+cm206 in combination with the cm260 host adapter card. 
+
+                                (c) 1995 David A. van Leeuwen
+   
+Changes since version 0.99
+--------------------------
+- Interfacing to the kernel is routed though an extra interface layer, 
+  cdrom.c. This allows runtime-configurable `behavior' of the cdrom-drive, 
+  independent of the driver. 
+
+Features since version 0.33
+---------------------------
+- Full audio support, that is, both  workman, workbone and cdp work
+  now reasonably. Reading TOC still takes some time. xmcd has been
+  reported to run successfully. 
+- Made auto-probe code a little better, I hope
+
+Features since version 0.28
+---------------------------
+- Full speed transfer rate (300 kB/s).
+- Minimum kernel memory usage for buffering (less than 3 kB).
+- Multisession support.
+- Tray locking.
+- Statistics of driver accessible to the user.
+- Module support.
+- Auto-probing of adapter card's base port and irq line,
+  also configurable at boot time or module load time.
+
+
+Decide how you are going to use the driver. There are two
+options:
+
+   (a) installing the driver as a resident part of the kernel
+   (b) compiling the driver as a loadable module
+
+   Further, you must decide if you are going to specify the base port
+   address and the interrupt request line of the adapter card cm260 as
+   boot options for (a), module parameters for (b), use automatic
+   probing of these values, or hard-wire your adaptor card's settings
+   into the source code. If you don't care, you can choose 
+   autoprobing, which is the default. In that case you can move on to
+   the next step.
+
+Compiling the kernel
+--------------------
+1) move to /usr/src/linux and do a 
+
+        make config
+
+   If you have chosen option (a), answer yes to CONFIG_CM206 and
+   CONFIG_ISO9660_FS.
+
+   If you have chosen option (b), answer yes to CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
+   and no (!) to CONFIG_CM206 and CONFIG_ISO9660_FS. 
+
+2) then do a 
+        
+        make clean; make zImage; make modules
+
+3) do the usual things to install a new image (backup the old one, run
+   `rdev -R zImage 1', copy the new image in place, run lilo).  Might
+   be `make zlilo'.
+
+Using the driver as a module
+----------------------------
+If you will only occasionally use the cd-rom driver, you can choose
+option (b), install as a loadable module. You may have to re-compile
+the module when you upgrade the kernel to a new version. 
+
+Since version 0.96, much of the functionality has been transferred to
+a generic cdrom interface in the file cdrom.c. The module cm206.o
+depends on cdrom.o. If the latter is not compiled into the kernel,
+you must explicitly load it before cm206.o:
+
+         insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/cdrom.o
+
+To install the module, you use the command, as root
+
+        insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/cm206.o
+
+You can specify the base address on the command line as well as the irq 
+line to be used, e.g.
+
+        insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/cm206.o cm206=0x300,11
+
+The order of base port and irq line doesn't matter; if you specify only
+one, the other will have the value of the compiled-in default.  You
+may also have to install the file-system module `iso9660.o', if you
+didn't compile that into the kernel. 
+
+
+Using the driver as part of the kernel
+--------------------------------------
+If you have chosen option (a), you can specify the base-port
+address and irq on the lilo boot command line, e.g.:
+
+        LILO: linux cm206=0x340,11
+
+This assumes that your linux kernel image keyword is `linux'. 
+If you specify either IRQ (3--11) or base port (0x300--0x370),
+auto probing is turned off for both settings, thus setting the 
+other value to the compiled-in default.
+
+Note that you can also put these parameters in the lilo configuration file:
+
+# linux config
+image = /vmlinuz
+   root = /dev/hda1
+   label = Linux
+   append = "cm206=0x340,11"
+   read-only
+
+
+If module parameters and LILO config options don't work
+-------------------------------------------------------
+If autoprobing does not work, you can hard-wire the default values
+of the base port address (CM206_BASE) and interrupt request line
+(CM206_IRQ) into the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom/cm206.h. Change
+the defines of CM206_IRQ and CM206_BASE.
+
+
+Mounting the cdrom
+------------------
+1) Make sure that the right device is installed in /dev.
+
+        mknod /dev/cm206cd b 32 0
+
+2) Make sure there is a mount point, e.g., /cdrom 
+
+        mkdir /cdrom
+
+3) mount using a command like this (run as root):
+
+        mount -rt iso9660 /dev/cm206cd /cdrom
+
+4) For user-mounts, add a line in /etc/fstab
+
+        /dev/cm206cd      /cdrom     iso9660    ro,noauto,user
+
+   This will allow users to give the commands
+
+        mount /cdrom
+        umount /cdrom
+
+If things don't work
+--------------------
+
+- Try to do a `dmesg' to find out if the driver said anything about
+  what is going wrong during the initialization.
+
+- Try to do a `dd if=/dev/cm206cd | od -tc | less' to read from the
+  CD.
+
+- Look in the /proc directory to see if `cm206' shows up under one of
+  `interrupts', `ioports', `devices' or `modules' (if applicable).
+
+
+DISCLAIMER 
+---------- 
+I cannot guarantee that this driver works, or that the hardware will
+not be harmed, although I consider it most unlikely. 
+
+I hope that you'll find this driver in some way useful.

+Note for Linux CDROM vendors
+-----------------------------
+You are encouraged to include this driver on your Linux CDROM. If
+you do, you might consider sending me a free copy of that cd-rom.
+You can contact me through my e-mail address, david@tm.tno.nl. 
+If this driver is compiled into a kernel to boot off a cdrom, 
+you should actually send me a free copy of that cd-rom.
