10NOTE: THIS DRIVER WILL WORK WITH THE CD-ROM DRIVES LISTED, WHICH HAVE
11      A PROPRIETARY INTERFACE (implemented on a sound card or on an
12      ISA-AT-bus card). 
13      IT WILL DEFINITELY NOT WORK WITH CD-ROM DRIVES WITH *IDE*-INTERFACE,
14      such as the Aztech CDA269-031SE !!! (The only known exceptions are
15      'faked' IDE drives like the CyCDROM CR520ie which work with aztcd
16      under certain conditions, see 7.). IF YOU'RE USING A CD-ROM DRIVE
17      WITH IDE-INTERFACE, SOMETIMES ALSO CALLED ATAPI-COMPATIBLE, PLEASE 
18      USE THE ide-cd.c DRIVER, WRITTEN BY MARK LORD AND SCOTT SNYDER !
19      THE STANDARD-KERNEL 1.2.x NOW ALSO SUPPORTS IDE-CDROM-DRIVES, SEE THE

431. NOTE 
44This software has been successfully in alpha and beta test and is part of
45the standard kernel since kernel 1.1.8x since December 1994. It works with
46AZTECH CDA268-01A, ORCHID CDS-3110, ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110 and CONRAD TXC 
47(Nr.99 31 23 -series 04) and has proven to be stable with kernel 
48versions 1.0.9 and newer. But with any software there still may be bugs in it. 
49So if you encounter problems, you are invited to help us improve this software. 
50Please send me a detailed bug report (see chapter BUG REPORTS). You are also 
51invited in helping us to increase the number of drives, which are supported.
52
53Please read the README-files carefully and always keep a backup copy of your 
54old kernel, in order to reboot if something goes wrong!
55
562. INSTALLATION
57The driver consists of a header file 'aztcd.h', which normally should reside 
58in /usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom and the source code 'aztcd.c', which normally 
59resides in the same place. It uses /dev/aztcd (/dev/aztcd0 in some distri-
60butions), which must be a valid block device with major number 29 and reside 
61in directory /dev. To mount a CD-ROM, your kernel needs to have the ISO9660-
62filesystem support included.
63
64PLEASE NOTE: aztcd.c has been developed in parallel to the linux kernel,
65which had and is having many major and minor changes which are not backward
66compatible. Quite definitely aztcd.c version 1.80 and newer will NOT work
67in kernels older than 1.3.33. So please always use the most recent version
68of aztcd.c with the appropriate linux-kernel.
69
703.  CONFIGURING YOUR KERNEL
71If your kernel is already configured for using the AZTECH driver you will
72see the following message while Linux boots:
73    Aztech CD-ROM Init: DriverVersion=<version number> BaseAddress=<baseaddress>
74    Aztech CD-ROM Init: FirmwareVersion=<firmware version id of your I/O-card>>>
75    Aztech CD-ROM Init: <drive type> detected
76    Aztech CD-ROM Init: End
77If the message looks different and you are sure to have a supported drive,
78it may have a different base address. The Aztech driver does look for the 
79CD-ROM drive at the base address specified in aztcd.h at compile time. This 
80address can be overwritten by boot parameter aztcd=....You should reboot and 
81start Linux with boot parameter aztcd=<base address>, e.g. aztcd=0x320. If 
82you do not know the base address, start your PC with DOS and look at the boot 
83message of your CD-ROM's DOS driver. If that still does not help, use boot
84parameter aztcd=<base address>,0x79 , this tells aztcd to try a little harder.
85aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by recompiling
86it (see chapter 4.).
87
88If the message looks correct, as user 'root' you should be able to mount the 
89drive by
90          mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/aztcd0 /mnt
91and use it as any other filesystem. (If this does not work, check if
92/dev/aztcd0 and /mnt do exist and create them, if necessary by doing
93      mknod /dev/aztcd0 b 29 0
94      mkdir /mnt                       
95
96If you still get a different message while Linux boots or when you get the 
97message, that the ISO9660-filesystem is not supported by your kernel, when
98you try to mount the CD-ROM drive, you have to recompile your kernel.
99
100If you do *not* have an Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes/TXC drive and want to 
101bypass drive detection during Linux boot up, start with boot parameter aztcd=0.
102
103Most distributions nowadays do contain a boot disk image containing aztcd.
104Please note, that this driver will not work with IDE/ATAPI drives! With these 
105you must use ide-cd.c instead.
106
1074. RECOMPILING YOUR KERNEL
108If your kernel is not yet configured for the AZTECH driver and the ISO9660-
109filesystem, you have to recompile your kernel: 
110
111- Edit aztcd.h to set the I/O-address to your I/O-Base address (AZT_BASE_ADDR), 
112  the driver does not use interrupts or DMA, so if you are using an AZTECH
113  CD268, an ORCHID CD-3110 or ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110 that's the only item you 
114  have to set up. If you have a soundcard, read chapter 4.2.
115  Users of other drives should read chapter OTHER DRIVES of this file.
116  You also can configure that address by kernel boot parameter aztcd=... 
117- aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by setting
118  AZT_BASE_ADDR to '-1'. In that case aztcd probes the addresses listed 
119  under AZT_BASE_AUTO. But please remember, that autoprobing always may 
120  incorrectly influence other hardware components too!
121- There are some other points, which may be configured, e.g. auto-eject the
122  CD when unmounting a drive, tray locking etc., see aztcd.h for details.
123- If you're using a linux kernel version prior to 2.1.0, in aztcd.h
124  uncomment the line '#define AZT_KERNEL_PRIOR_2_1'
125- Build a new kernel, configure it for 'Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes support' 
126  (if you want aztcd to be part of the kernel). Do not configure it for
127  'Aztech... support', if you want to use aztcd as a run time loadable module. 
128  But in any case you must have the ISO9660-filesystem included in your
129  kernel.
130- Activate the new kernel, normally this is done by running LILO (don't for-
131  get to configure it before and to keep a copy of your old kernel in case
132  something goes wrong!).
133- Reboot
134- If you've included aztcd in your kernel, you now should see during boot 
135  some messages like
136    Aztech CD-ROM Init: DriverVersion=<version number> BaseAddress=<baseaddress>
137    Aztech CD-ROM Init: FirmwareVersion=<firmware version id of your I/O-card>
138    Aztech CD-ROM Init: <drive type> detected
139    Aztech CD-ROM Init: End
140- If you have not included aztcd in your kernel, but want to load aztcd as a 
141  run time loadable module see 4.1. 
142- If the message looks correct, as user 'root' you should be able to mount 
143  the drive by
144          mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/aztcd0 /mnt
145  and use it as any other filesystem. (If this does not work, check if
146  /dev/aztcd0 and /mnt do exist and create them, if necessary by doing
147      mknod /dev/aztcd0 b 29 0
148      mkdir /mnt                       
149- If this still does not help, see chapters OTHER DRIVES and DEBUGGING.
150
1514.1 AZTCD AS A RUN-TIME LOADABLE MODULE
152If you do not need aztcd permanently, you can also load and remove the driver
153during runtime via insmod and rmmod. To build aztcd as a loadable module you 
154must configure your kernel for AZTECH module support (answer 'm' when con-
155figuring the kernel). Anyhow, you may run into problems, if the version of 
156your boot kernel is not the same than the source kernel version, from which 
157you create the modules. So rebuild your kernel, if necessary. 
158
159Now edit the base address of your AZTECH interface card in
160/usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom/aztcd.h to the appropriate value. 
161aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by setting
162AZT_BASE_ADDR to '-1'. In that case aztcd probes the addresses listed 
163under AZT_BASE_AUTO. But please remember, that autoprobing always may 
164incorrectly influence other hardware components too!
165There are also some special features which may be configured, e.g. 
166auto-eject a CD when unmounting the drive etc; see aztcd.h for details. 
167Then change to /usr/src/linux and do a 
168                    make modules  
169	            make modules_install
170After that you can run-time load the driver via
171                    insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o
172and remove it via   rmmod  aztcd.
173If you did not set the correct base address in aztcd.h, you can also supply the
174base address when loading the driver via
175                    insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o aztcd=<base address>
176Again specifying aztcd=-1 will cause autoprobing.
177If you do not have the iso9660-filesystem in your boot kernel, you also have
178to load it before you can mount the CDROM:
179                    insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/fs/isofs.o
180The mount procedure works as described in 4. above.
181(In all commands 'X.X.X' is the current linux kernel version number. For details
182see file modules.txt in /usr/src/linux/Documentation)
183
1844.2 CDROM CONNECTED TO A SOUNDCARD
185Most soundcards do have a bus interface to the CDROM-drive. In many cases
186this soundcard needs to be configured, before the CDROM can be used. This
187configuration procedure consists of writing some kind of initialization
188data to the soundcard registers. The AZTECH-CDROM driver in the moment does
189only support one type of soundcard (SoundWave32). Users of other soundcards
190should try to boot DOS first and let their DOS drivers initialize the
191soundcard and CDROM, then warm boot (or use loadlin) their PC to start
192Linux.
193Support for the CDROM-interface of SoundWave32-soundcards is directly
194implemented in the AZTECH driver. Please edit linux/drivers/cdrom/aztdc.h,
195uncomment line '#define AZT_SW32' and set the appropriate value for
196AZT_BASE_ADDR and AZT_SW32_BASE_ADDR. This support was tested with an Orchid
197CDS-3110 connected to a SoundWave32.
198If you want your soundcard to be supported, find out, how it needs to be
199configured and mail me (see 6.) the appropriate information. 
200
2015. KNOWN PROBLEMS, FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
2025.1 MULTISESSION SUPPORT
203Multisession support for CD's still is a myth. I implemented and tested a basic
204support for multisession and XA CDs, but I still have not enough CDs and appli-
205cations to test it rigorously. So if you'd like to help me, please contact me
206(Email address see below). As of version 1.4 and newer you can enable the 
207multisession support in aztcd.h by setting AZT_MULTISESSION to 1. Doing so 
208will cause the ISO9660-filesystem to deal with multisession CDs, ie. redirect 
209requests to the Table of Contents (TOC) information from the last session, 
210which contains the info of all previous sessions etc.. If you do set 
211AZT_MULTISESSION to 0, you can use multisession CDs anyway. In that case the 
212drive's firmware will do automatic redirection. For the ISO9660-filesystem any 
213multisession CD  will then look like a 'normal' single session CD. But never-
214theless the data of all sessions are viewable and accessible. So with practical-
215ly all real world applications you won't notice the difference. But as future
216applications may make use of advanced multisession features, I've started to
217implement the interface for the ISO9660 multisession interface via ioctl
218CDROMMULTISESSION.
219
2205.2 STATUS RECOGNITION
221The drive status recognition does not work correctly in all cases. Changing
222a disk or having the door open, when a drive is already mounted, is detected 
223by the Aztech driver itself, but nevertheless causes multiple read attempts
224by the different layers of the ISO9660-filesystem driver, which finally timeout,
225so you have to wait quite a little... But isn't it bad style to change a disk 
226in a mounted drive, anyhow ?!
227
228The driver uses busy wait in most cases for the drive handshake (macros
229STEN_LOW and DTEN_LOW). I tested with a 486/DX2 at 66MHz and a Pentium at
23060MHz and 90MHz. Whenever you use a much faster machine you are likely to get 
231timeout messages. In that case edit aztcd.h and increase the timeout value 
232AZT_TIMEOUT. 
233
234For some 'slow' drive commands I implemented waiting with a timer waitqueue
235(macro STEN_LOW_WAIT). If you get this timeout message, you may also edit
236aztcd.h and increase the timeout value AZT_STATUS_DELAY. The waitqueue has
237shown to be a little critical. If you get kernel panic messages, edit aztcd.c
238and substitute STEN_LOW_WAIT by STEN_LOW. Busy waiting with STEN_LOW is more
239stable, but also causes CPU overhead.
240
2415.3 DOSEMU's CD-ROM SUPPORT
242With release 1.20 aztcd was modified to allow access to CD-ROMS when running
243under dosemu-0.60.0 aztcd-versions before 1.20 are most likely to crash
244Linux, when a CD-ROM is accessed under dosemu. This problem has partly been
245fixed, but still when accessing a directory for the first time the system
246might hang for some 30sec. So be patient, when using dosemu's CD-ROM support
247in combination with aztcd :-) ! 
248This problem has now (July 1995) been fixed by a modification to dosemu's
249CD-ROM driver. The new version came with dosemu-0.60.2, see dosemu's
250README.CDROM.
251
2526. BUG REPORTS
253Please send detailed bug reports and bug fixes via EMail to
254
255        Werner.Zimmermann@fht-esslingen.de
256
257Please include a description of your CD-ROM drive type and interface card, 
258the exact firmware message during Linux bootup, the version number of the 
259AZTECH-CDROM-driver and the Linux kernel version. Also a description of your 
260system's other hardware could be of interest, especially microprocessor type, 
261clock frequency, other interface cards such as soundcards, ethernet adapter, 
262game cards etc..
263
264I will try to collect the reports and make the necessary modifications from 
265time to time. I may also come back to you directly with some bug fixes and 
266ask you to do further testing and debugging.
267
268Editors of CD-ROMs are invited to send a 'cooperation' copy of their
269CD-ROMs to the volunteers, who provided the CD-ROM support for Linux. My

2797. OTHER DRIVES
280The following drives ORCHID CDS3110, OKANO CDD110, WEARNES CDD110 and Conrad
281TXC Nr. 993123-series 04 nearly look the same as AZTECH CDA268-01A, especially 
282they seem to use the same command codes. So it was quite simple to make the 
283AZTECH driver work with these drives. 
284
285Unfortunately I do not have any of these drives available, so I couldn't test
286it myself. In some installations, it seems necessary to initialize the drive 
287with the DOS driver before (especially if combined with a sound card) and then 
288do a warm boot (CTRL-ALT-RESET) or start Linux from DOS, e.g. with 'loadlin'.
289
290If you do not succeed, read chapter DEBUGGING. Thanks in advance!
291
292Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is difficult to develop for hardware, 
293which you don't have available for testing. So if you like, please help us.
294
295If you do have a CyCDROM CR520ie thanks to Hilmar Berger's help your chances
296are good, that it will work with aztcd. The CR520ie is sold as an IDE-drive
297and really is connected to the IDE interface (primary at 0x1F0 or secondary
298at 0x170, configured as slave, not as master). Nevertheless it is not ATAPI
299compatible but still uses Aztech's command codes.
300
301
3028. DEBUGGING : IF YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY THE FOLLOWING
303-reread the complete README file
304-make sure, that your drive is hardware configured for 
305    transfer mode: polled
306    IRQ:           not used
307    DMA:           not used
308    Base Address:  something like 300, 320 ...
309 You can check this, when you start the DOS driver, which came with your
310 drive. By appropriately configuring the drive and the DOS driver you can
311 check, whether your drive does operate in this mode correctly under DOS. If
312 it does not operate under DOS, it won't under Linux.
313 If your drive's base address is something like 0x170 or 0x1F0 (and it is
314 not a CyCDROM CR520ie or CR 940ie) you most likely are having an IDE/ATAPI-
315 compatible drive, which is not supported by aztcd.c, use ide-cd.c instead.
316 Make sure the Base Address is configured correctly in aztcd.h, also make
317 sure, that /dev/aztcd0 exists with the correct major number (compare it with
318 the entry in file /usr/include/linux/major.h for the Aztech drive). 
319-insert a CD-ROM and close the tray
320-cold boot your PC (i.e. via the power on switch or the reset button)
321-if you start Linux via DOS, e.g. using loadlin, make sure, that the DOS
322 driver for the CD-ROM drive is not loaded (comment out the calling lines 
323 in DOS' config.sys!)
324-look for the aztcd: init message during Linux init and note them exactly
325-log in as root and do a mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt
326-if you don't succeed in the first time, try several times. Try also to open
327 and close the tray, then mount again. Please note carefully all commands
328 you typed in and the aztcd-messages, which you get.
329-if you get an 'Aztech CD-ROM init: aborted' message, read the remarks about
330 the version string below.
331
332If this does not help, do the same with the following differences 
333-start DOS before; make now sure, that the DOS driver for the CD-ROM is 
334 loaded under DOS (i.e. uncomment it again in config.sys)
335-warm boot your PC (i.e. via CTRL-ALT-DEL)
336 if you have it, you can also start via loadlin (try both).
337 ...
338 Again note all commands and the aztcd-messages.
339
340If you see STEN_LOW or STEN_LOW_WAIT error messages, increase the timeout
341values.
342
343If this still does not help, 
344-look in aztcd.c for the lines  #if 0
345                                #define AZT_TEST1
346                                ...
347                                #endif
348 and substitute '#if 0' by '#if 1'.
349-recompile your kernel and repeat the above two procedures. You will now get 
350 a bundle of debugging messages from the driver. Again note your commands
351 and the appropriate messages. If you have syslogd running, these messages
352 may also be found in syslogd's kernel log file. Nevertheless in some
353 installations syslogd does not yet run, when init() is called, thus look for
354 the aztcd-messages during init, before the login-prompt appears.
355 Then look in aztcd.c, to find out, what happened. The normal calling sequence 
356 is: aztcd_init() during Linux bootup procedure init()
357 after doing a 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt' the normal calling sequence is
358     aztcd_open()    -> Status 2c after cold reboot with CDROM or audio CD inserted
359                     -> Status 8  after warm reboot with CDROM inserted          
360                     -> Status 2e after cold reboot with no disk, closed tray
361                     -> Status 6e after cold reboot, mount with door open
362     aztUpdateToc()
363     aztGetDiskInfo()
364     aztGetQChannelInfo()   repeated several times
365     aztGetToc()
366     aztGetQChannelInfo()   repeated several times
367     a list of track information
368     do_aztcd_request()  }  
369     azt_transfer()    } repeated several times
370     azt_poll          }
371 Check, if there is a difference in the calling sequence or the status flags!
372 
373 There are a lot of other messages, eg. the ACMD-command code (defined in
374 aztcd.h), status info from the getAztStatus-command and the state sequence of
375 the finite state machine in azt_poll(). The most important are the status
376 messages, look how they are defined and try to understand, if they make
377 sense in the context where they appear. With a CD-ROM inserted the status 
378 should always be 8, except in aztcd_open(). Try to open the tray, insert an
379 audio disk, insert no disk or reinsert the CD-ROM and check, if the status
380 bits change accordingly. The status bits are the most likely point, where 
381 the drive manufacturers may implement changes.
382            
383If you still don't succeed, a good point to start is to look in aztcd.c in 
384function aztcd_init, where the drive should be detected during init. Do the
385following:
386-reboot the system with boot parameter 'aztcd=<your base address>,0x79'. With
387 parameter 0x79 most of the drive version detection is bypassed. After that 
388 you should see the complete version string including leading and trailing 
389 blanks during init. 
390 Now adapt the statement
391      if ((result[1]=='A')&&(result[2]=='Z' ...)
392 in aztcd_init() to exactly match the first 3 or 4 letters you have seen.
393-Another point is the 'smart' card detection feature in aztcd_init(). Normally
394 the CD-ROM drive is ready, when aztcd_init is trying to read the version
395 string and a time consuming ACMD_SOFT_RESET command can be avoided. This is
396 detected by looking, if AFL_OP_OK can be read correctly. If the CD-ROM drive 
397 hangs in some unknown state, e.g. because of an error before a warm start or 
398 because you first operated under DOS, even the version string may be correct, 
399 but the following commands will not. Then change the code in such a way, 
400 that the ACMD_SOFT_RESET is issued in any case, by substituting the
401 if-statement 'if ( ...=AFL_OP_OK)' by 'if (1)'.
402
403If you succeed, please mail me the exact version string of your drive and
404the code modifications, you have made together with a short explanation.
405If you don't succeed, you may mail me the output of the debugging messages.
406But remember, they are only useful, if they are exact and complete and you
407describe in detail your hardware setup and what you did (cold/warm reboot,
408with/without DOS, DOS-driver started/not started, which Linux-commands etc.)

4119. TECHNICAL HISTORY OF THE DRIVER
412The AZTECH-Driver is a rework of the Mitsumi-Driver. Four major items had to
413be reworked:
414
415a) The Mitsumi drive does issue complete status information acknowledging
416each command, the Aztech drive does only signal that the command was
417processed. So whenever the complete status information is needed, an extra
418ACMD_GET_STATUS command is issued. The handshake procedure for the drive
419can be found in the functions aztSendCmd(), sendAztCmd() and getAztStatus().
420
421b) The Aztech Drive does not have a ACMD_GET_DISK_INFO command, so the
422necessary info about the number of tracks (firstTrack, lastTrack), disk
423length etc. has to be read from the TOC in the lead in track (see function
424aztGetDiskInfo()).
425
426c) Whenever data is read from the drive, the Mitsumi drive is started with a
427command to read an indefinite (0xffffff) number of sectors. When the appropriate 
428number of sectors is read, the drive is stopped by a ACDM_STOP command. This
429does not work with the Aztech drive. I did not find a way to stop it. The
430stop and pause commands do only work in AUDIO mode but not in DATA mode.
431Therefore I had to modify the 'finite state machine' in function azt_poll to
432only read a certain number of sectors and then start a new read on demand. As I 
433have not completely understood, how the buffer/caching scheme of the Mitsumi 
434driver was implemented, I am not sure, if I have covered all cases correctly, 
435whenever you get timeout messages, the bug is most likely to be in that
436function azt_poll() around switch(cmd) .... case ACD_S_DATA. 
437
438d) I did not get information about changing drive mode. So I doubt, that the
439code around function azt_poll() case AZT_S_MODE does work. In my test I have
440not been able to switch to reading in raw mode. For reading raw mode, Aztech
441uses a different command than for cooked mode, which I only have implemen-
442ted in the ioctl-section but not in the section which is used by the ISO9660. 
443
444The driver was developed on an AST PC with Intel 486/DX2, 8MB RAM, 340MB IDE 
445hard disk and on an AST PC with Intel Pentium 60MHz, 16MB RAM, 520MB IDE 
446running Linux kernel version 1.0.9 from the LST 1.8 Distribution. The kernel 
447was compiled with gcc.2.5.8. My CD-ROM drive is an Aztech CDA268-01A. My
448drive says, that it has Firmware Version AZT26801A1.3. It came with an ISA-bus
449interface card and works with polled I/O without DMA and without interrupts.
450The code for all other drives was 'remote' tested and debugged by a number of 
451volunteers on the Internet.
452
453Points, where I feel that possible problems might be and all points where I 
454did not completely understand the drive's behaviour or trust my own code are 
455marked with /*???*/ in the source code. There are also some parts in the 
456Mitsumi driver, where I did not completely understand their code.

460Without the help of P.Bush, Aztech, who delivered technical information
461about the Aztech Drive and without the help of E.Moenkeberg, GWDG, who did a
462great job in analyzing the command structure of various CD-ROM drives, this
463work would not have been possible. E.Moenkeberg was also a great help in 
464making the software 'kernel ready' and in answering many of the CDROM-related 
465questions in the newsgroups. He really is *the* Linux CD-ROM guru. Thanks 
466also to all the guys on the Internet, who collected valuable technical 
467information about CDROMs. 
468
469Joe Nardone (joe@access.digex.net) was a patient tester even for my first
470trial, which was more than slow, and made suggestions for code improvement.
471Especially the 'finite state machine' azt_poll() was rewritten by Joe to get
472clean C code and avoid the ugly 'gotos', which I copied from mcd.c.
473
474Robby Schirmer (schirmer@fmi.uni-passau.de) tested the audio stuff (ioctls) 
475and suggested a lot of patches for them.
476
477Joseph Piskor and Peter Nugent were the first users with the ORCHID CD3110
478and also were very patient with the problems which occurred.
479
480Reinhard Max delivered the information for the CDROM-interface of the
481SoundWave32 soundcards.
482
483Jochen Kunz and Olaf Kaluza delivered the information for supporting Conrad's 
484TXC drive.
485
486Hilmar Berger delivered the patches for supporting CyCDROM CR520ie.
487
488Anybody, who is interested in these items should have a look at 'ftp.gwdg.de',
489directory 'pub/linux/cdrom' and at 'ftp.cdrom.com', directory 'pub/cdrom'.
490
49111. PROGRAMMING ADD ONs: cdplay.c
492You can use the ioctl-functions included in aztcd.c in your own programs. As
493an example on how to do this, you will find a tiny CD Player for audio CDs 
494named 'cdplay.c'. It allows you to play audio CDs. You can play a specified 
495track, pause and resume or skip tracks forward and backwards. If you quit the 
496program without stopping the  drive, playing is continued. You can also 
497(mis)use cdplay to read and hexdump data disks. You can find the code in the 
498APPENDIX of this file, which you should cut out with an editor and store in a 
499separate file 'cdplay.c'. To compile it and make it executable, do
500  gcc -s -Wall -O2 -L/usr/lib cdplay.c -o /usr/local/bin/cdplay # compiles it
501  chmod +755 /usr/local/bin/cdplay                              # makes it executable
502  ln -s /dev/aztcd0 /dev/cdrom                                  # creates a link
503   (for /usr/lib substitute the top level directory, where your include files 
504    reside,  and for /usr/local/bin the directory, where you want the executable 
505    binary to reside )
506
507You have to set the correct permissions for cdplay *and* for /dev/mcd0 or
508/dev/aztcd0 in order to use it. Remember, that you should not have /dev/cdrom 
509mounted, when you're playing audio CDs. 
510
511This program is just a hack for testing the ioctl-functions in aztcd.c. I will 
512not maintain it, so if you run into problems, discard it or have a look into 
513the source code 'cdplay.c'. The program does only contain a minimum of user 
514protection and input error detection. If you use the commands in the wrong 
515order or if you try to read a CD at wrong addresses, you may get error messages
516or even hang your machine. If you get STEN_LOW, STEN_LOW_WAIT or segment violation 
517error messages when using cdplay, after that, the system might not be stable 
518any more, so you'd better reboot. As the ioctl-functions run in kernel mode,
519most normal Linux-multitasking protection features do not work. By using
520uninitialized 'wild' pointers etc., it is easy to write to other users' data 
521and program areas, destroy kernel tables etc.. So if you experiment with ioctls
522as always when you are doing systems programming and kernel hacking, you
523should have a backup copy of your system in a safe place (and you also
524should try restoring from a backup copy first)!
525
526A reworked and improved version called 'cdtester.c', which has yet more
527features for testing CDROM-drives can be found in
528/usr/src/linux/Documentation/cdrom/sbpcd, written by E.Moenkeberg.
