NOTE +This software has been successfully in alpha and beta test and is part of +the standard kernel since kernel 1.1.8x since December 1994. It works with +AZTECH CDA268-01A, ORCHID CDS-3110, ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110 and CONRAD TXC +(Nr.99 31 23 -series 04) and has proven to be stable with kernel +versions 1.0.9 and newer. But with any software there still may be bugs in it. +So if you encounter problems, you are invited to help us improve this software. +Please send me a detailed bug report (see chapter BUG REPORTS). You are also +invited in helping us to increase the number of drives, which are supported. + +Please read the README-files carefully and always keep a backup copy of your +old kernel, in order to reboot if something goes wrong! + +2. INSTALLATION +The driver consists of a header file 'aztcd.h', which normally should reside +in /usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom and the source code 'aztcd.c', which normally +resides in the same place. It uses /dev/aztcd (/dev/aztcd0 in some distri- +butions), which must be a valid block device with major number 29 and reside +in directory /dev. To mount a CD-ROM, your kernel needs to have the ISO9660- +filesystem support included. + +PLEASE NOTE: aztcd.c has been developed in parallel to the linux kernel, +which had and is having many major and minor changes which are not backward +compatible. Quite definitely aztcd.c version 1.80 and newer will NOT work +in kernels older than 1.3.33. So please always use the most recent version +of aztcd.c with the appropriate linux-kernel. + +3. CONFIGURING YOUR KERNEL +If your kernel is already configured for using the AZTECH driver you will +see the following message while Linux boots: + Aztech CD-ROM Init: DriverVersion=<version number> BaseAddress=<baseaddress> + Aztech CD-ROM Init: FirmwareVersion=<firmware version id of your I/O-card>>> + Aztech CD-ROM Init: <drive type> detected + Aztech CD-ROM Init: End +If the message looks different and you are sure to have a supported drive, +it may have a different base address. The Aztech driver does look for the +CD-ROM drive at the base address specified in aztcd.h at compile time. This +address can be overwritten by boot parameter aztcd=....You should reboot and +start Linux with boot parameter aztcd=<base address>, e.g. aztcd=0x320. If +you do not know the base address, start your PC with DOS and look at the boot +message of your CD-ROM's DOS driver. If that still does not help, use boot +parameter aztcd=<base address>,0x79 , this tells aztcd to try a little harder. +aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by recompiling +it (see chapter 4.). + +If the message looks correct, as user 'root' you should be able to mount the +drive by + mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/aztcd0 /mnt +and use it as any other filesystem. (If this does not work, check if +/dev/aztcd0 and /mnt do exist and create them, if necessary by doing + mknod /dev/aztcd0 b 29 0 + mkdir /mnt + +If you still get a different message while Linux boots or when you get the +message, that the ISO9660-filesystem is not supported by your kernel, when +you try to mount the CD-ROM drive, you have to recompile your kernel. + +If you do *not* have an Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes/TXC drive and want to +bypass drive detection during Linux boot up, start with boot parameter aztcd=0. + +Most distributions nowadays do contain a boot disk image containing aztcd. +Please note, that this driver will not work with IDE/ATAPI drives! With these +you must use ide-cd.c instead. + +4. RECOMPILING YOUR KERNEL +If your kernel is not yet configured for the AZTECH driver and the ISO9660- +filesystem, you have to recompile your kernel: + +- Edit aztcd.h to set the I/O-address to your I/O-Base address (AZT_BASE_ADDR), + the driver does not use interrupts or DMA, so if you are using an AZTECH + CD268, an ORCHID CD-3110 or ORCHID/WEARNES CDD110 that's the only item you + have to set up. If you have a soundcard, read chapter 4.2. + Users of other drives should read chapter OTHER DRIVES of this file. + You also can configure that address by kernel boot parameter aztcd=... +- aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by setting + AZT_BASE_ADDR to '-1'. In that case aztcd probes the addresses listed + under AZT_BASE_AUTO. But please remember, that autoprobing always may + incorrectly influence other hardware components too! +- There are some other points, which may be configured, e.g. auto-eject the + CD when unmounting a drive, tray locking etc., see aztcd.h for details. +- If you're using a linux kernel version prior to 2.1.0, in aztcd.h + uncomment the line '#define AZT_KERNEL_PRIOR_2_1' +- Build a new kernel, configure it for 'Aztech/Orchid/Okano/Wearnes support' + (if you want aztcd to be part of the kernel). Do not configure it for + 'Aztech... support', if you want to use aztcd as a run time loadable module. + But in any case you must have the ISO9660-filesystem included in your + kernel. +- Activate the new kernel, normally this is done by running LILO (don't for- + get to configure it before and to keep a copy of your old kernel in case + something goes wrong!). +- Reboot +- If you've included aztcd in your kernel, you now should see during boot + some messages like + Aztech CD-ROM Init: DriverVersion=<version number> BaseAddress=<baseaddress> + Aztech CD-ROM Init: FirmwareVersion=<firmware version id of your I/O-card> + Aztech CD-ROM Init: <drive type> detected + Aztech CD-ROM Init: End +- If you have not included aztcd in your kernel, but want to load aztcd as a + run time loadable module see 4.1. +- If the message looks correct, as user 'root' you should be able to mount + the drive by + mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/aztcd0 /mnt + and use it as any other filesystem. (If this does not work, check if + /dev/aztcd0 and /mnt do exist and create them, if necessary by doing + mknod /dev/aztcd0 b 29 0 + mkdir /mnt +- If this still does not help, see chapters OTHER DRIVES and DEBUGGING. + +4.1 AZTCD AS A RUN-TIME LOADABLE MODULE +If you do not need aztcd permanently, you can also load and remove the driver +during runtime via insmod and rmmod. To build aztcd as a loadable module you +must configure your kernel for AZTECH module support (answer 'm' when con- +figuring the kernel). Anyhow, you may run into problems, if the version of +your boot kernel is not the same than the source kernel version, from which +you create the modules. So rebuild your kernel, if necessary. + +Now edit the base address of your AZTECH interface card in +/usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom/aztcd.h to the appropriate value. +aztcd may be configured to use autoprobing the base address by setting +AZT_BASE_ADDR to '-1'. In that case aztcd probes the addresses listed +under AZT_BASE_AUTO. But please remember, that autoprobing always may +incorrectly influence other hardware components too! +There are also some special features which may be configured, e.g. +auto-eject a CD when unmounting the drive etc; see aztcd.h for details. +Then change to /usr/src/linux and do a + make modules + make modules_install +After that you can run-time load the driver via + insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o +and remove it via rmmod aztcd. +If you did not set the correct base address in aztcd.h, you can also supply the +base address when loading the driver via + insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/misc/aztcd.o aztcd=<base address> +Again specifying aztcd=-1 will cause autoprobing. +If you do not have the iso9660-filesystem in your boot kernel, you also have +to load it before you can mount the CDROM: + insmod /lib/modules/X.X.X/fs/isofs.o +The mount procedure works as described in 4. above. +(In all commands 'X.X.X' is the current linux kernel version number) + +4.2 CDROM CONNECTED TO A SOUNDCARD +Most soundcards do have a bus interface to the CDROM-drive. In many cases +this soundcard needs to be configured, before the CDROM can be used. This +configuration procedure consists of writing some kind of initialization +data to the soundcard registers. The AZTECH-CDROM driver in the moment does +only support one type of soundcard (SoundWave32). Users of other soundcards +should try to boot DOS first and let their DOS drivers initialize the +soundcard and CDROM, then warm boot (or use loadlin) their PC to start +Linux. +Support for the CDROM-interface of SoundWave32-soundcards is directly +implemented in the AZTECH driver. Please edit linux/drivers/cdrom/aztdc.h, +uncomment line '#define AZT_SW32' and set the appropriate value for +AZT_BASE_ADDR and AZT_SW32_BASE_ADDR. This support was tested with an Orchid +CDS-3110 connected to a SoundWave32. +If you want your soundcard to be supported, find out, how it needs to be +configured and mail me (see 6.) the appropriate information. + +5. KNOWN PROBLEMS, FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS +5.1 MULTISESSION SUPPORT +Multisession support for CD's still is a myth. I implemented and tested a basic +support for multisession and XA CDs, but I still have not enough CDs and appli- +cations to test it rigorously. So if you'd like to help me, please contact me +(Email address see below). As of version 1.4 and newer you can enable the +multisession support in aztcd.h by setting AZT_MULTISESSION to 1. Doing so +will cause the ISO9660-filesystem to deal with multisession CDs, ie. redirect +requests to the Table of Contents (TOC) information from the last session, +which contains the info of all previous sessions etc.. If you do set +AZT_MULTISESSION to 0, you can use multisession CDs anyway. In that case the +drive's firmware will do automatic redirection. For the ISO9660-filesystem any +multisession CD will then look like a 'normal' single session CD. But never- +theless the data of all sessions are viewable and accessible. So with practical- +ly all real world applications you won't notice the difference. But as future +applications may make use of advanced multisession features, I've started to +implement the interface for the ISO9660 multisession interface via ioctl +CDROMMULTISESSION. + +5.2 STATUS RECOGNITION +The drive status recognition does not work correctly in all cases. Changing +a disk or having the door open, when a drive is already mounted, is detected +by the Aztech driver itself, but nevertheless causes multiple read attempts +by the different layers of the ISO9660-filesystem driver, which finally timeout, +so you have to wait quite a little... But isn't it bad style to change a disk +in a mounted drive, anyhow ?! + +The driver uses busy wait in most cases for the drive handshake (macros +STEN_LOW and DTEN_LOW). I tested with a 486/DX2 at 66MHz and a Pentium at +60MHz and 90MHz. Whenever you use a much faster machine you are likely to get +timeout messages. In that case edit aztcd.h and increase the timeout value +AZT_TIMEOUT. + +For some 'slow' drive commands I implemented waiting with a timer waitqueue +(macro STEN_LOW_WAIT). If you get this timeout message, you may also edit +aztcd.h and increase the timeout value AZT_STATUS_DELAY. The waitqueue has +shown to be a little critical. If you get kernel panic messages, edit aztcd.c +and substitute STEN_LOW_WAIT by STEN_LOW. Busy waiting with STEN_LOW is more +stable, but also causes CPU overhead. + +5.3 DOSEMU's CD-ROM SUPPORT +With release 1.20 aztcd was modified to allow access to CD-ROMS when running +under dosemu-0.60.0 aztcd-versions before 1.20 are most likely to crash +Linux, when a CD-ROM is accessed under dosemu. This problem has partly been +fixed, but still when accessing a directory for the first time the system +might hang for some 30sec. So be patient, when using dosemu's CD-ROM support +in combination with aztcd :-) ! +This problem has now (July 1995) been fixed by a modification to dosemu's +CD-ROM driver. The new version came with dosemu-0.60.2, see dosemu's +README.CDROM. + +6. BUG REPORTS +Please send detailed bug reports and bug fixes via EMail to + + Werner.Zimmermann@fht-esslingen.de + +Please include a description of your CD-ROM drive type and interface card, +the exact firmware message during Linux bootup, the version number of the +AZTECH-CDROM-driver and the Linux kernel version. Also a description of your +system's other hardware could be of interest, especially microprocessor type, +clock frequency, other interface cards such as soundcards, ethernet adapter, +game cards etc.. + +I will try to collect the reports and make the necessary modifications from +time to time. I may also come back to you directly with some bug fixes and +ask you to do further testing and debugging. + +Editors of CD-ROMs are invited to send a 'cooperation' copy of their +CD-ROMs to the volunteers, who provided the CD-ROM support for Linux. My +snail mail address for such 'stuff' is + Prof. Dr. W. Zimmermann + Fachhochschule fuer Technik Esslingen + Fachbereich IT + Flandernstrasse 101 + D-73732 Esslingen + Germany + + +7. OTHER DRIVES +The following drives ORCHID CDS3110, OKANO CDD110, WEARNES CDD110 and Conrad +TXC Nr. 993123-series 04 nearly look the same as AZTECH CDA268-01A, especially +they seem to use the same command codes. So it was quite simple to make the +AZTECH driver work with these drives. + +Unfortunately I do not have any of these drives available, so I couldn't test +it myself. In some installations, it seems necessary to initialize the drive +with the DOS driver before (especially if combined with a sound card) and then +do a warm boot (CTRL-ALT-RESET) or start Linux from DOS, e.g. with 'loadlin'. + +If you do not succeed, read chapter DEBUGGING. Thanks in advance! + +Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is difficult to develop for hardware, +which you don't have available for testing. So if you like, please help us. + +If you do have a CyCDROM CR520ie thanks to Hilmar Berger's help your chances +are good, that it will work with aztcd. The CR520ie is sold as an IDE-drive +and really is connected to the IDE interface (primary at 0x1F0 or secondary +at 0x170, configured as slave, not as master). Nevertheless it is not ATAPI +compatible but still uses Aztech's command codes. + + +8. DEBUGGING : IF YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY THE FOLLOWING +-reread the complete README file +-make sure, that your drive is hardware configured for + transfer mode: polled + IRQ: not used + DMA: not used + Base Address: something like 300, 320 ... + You can check this, when you start the DOS driver, which came with your + drive. By appropriately configuring the drive and the DOS driver you can + check, whether your drive does operate in this mode correctly under DOS. If + it does not operate under DOS, it won't under Linux. + If your drive's base address is something like 0x170 or 0x1F0 (and it is + not a CyCDROM CR520ie or CR 940ie) you most likely are having an IDE/ATAPI- + compatible drive, which is not supported by aztcd.c, use ide-cd.c instead. + Make sure the Base Address is configured correctly in aztcd.h, also make + sure, that /dev/aztcd0 exists with the correct major number (compare it with + the entry in file /usr/include/linux/major.h for the Aztech drive). +-insert a CD-ROM and close the tray +-cold boot your PC (i.e. via the power on switch or the reset button) +-if you start Linux via DOS, e.g. using loadlin, make sure, that the DOS + driver for the CD-ROM drive is not loaded (comment out the calling lines + in DOS' config.sys!) +-look for the aztcd: init message during Linux init and note them exactly +-log in as root and do a mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt +-if you don't succeed in the first time, try several times. Try also to open + and close the tray, then mount again. Please note carefully all commands + you typed in and the aztcd-messages, which you get. +-if you get an 'Aztech CD-ROM init: aborted' message, read the remarks about + the version string below. + +If this does not help, do the same with the following differences +-start DOS before; make now sure, that the DOS driver for the CD-ROM is + loaded under DOS (i.e. uncomment it again in config.sys) +-warm boot your PC (i.e. via CTRL-ALT-DEL) + if you have it, you can also start via loadlin (try both). + ... + Again note all commands and the aztcd-messages. + +If you see STEN_LOW or STEN_LOW_WAIT error messages, increase the timeout +values. + +If this still does not help, +-look in aztcd.c for the lines #if 0 + #define AZT_TEST1 + ... + #endif + and substitute '#if 0' by '#if 1'. +-recompile your kernel and repeat the above two procedures. You will now get + a bundle of debugging messages from the driver. Again note your commands + and the appropriate messages. If you have syslogd running, these messages + may also be found in syslogd's kernel log file. Nevertheless in some + installations syslogd does not yet run, when init() is called, thus look for + the aztcd-messages during init, before the login-prompt appears. + Then look in aztcd.c, to find out, what happened. The normal calling sequence + is: aztcd_init() during Linux bootup procedure init() + after doing a 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/aztcd0 /mnt' the normal calling sequence is + aztcd_open() -> Status 2c after cold reboot with CDROM or audio CD inserted + -> Status 8 after warm reboot with CDROM inserted + -> Status 2e after cold reboot with no disk, closed tray + -> Status 6e after cold reboot, mount with door open + aztUpdateToc() + aztGetDiskInfo() + aztGetQChannelInfo() repeated several times + aztGetToc() + aztGetQChannelInfo() repeated several times + a list of track information + do_aztcd_request() } + azt_transfer() } repeated several times + azt_poll } + Check, if there is a difference in the calling sequence or the status flags! + + There are a lot of other messages, eg. the ACMD-command code (defined in + aztcd.h), status info from the getAztStatus-command and the state sequence of + the finite state machine in azt_poll(). The most important are the status + messages, look how they are defined and try to understand, if they make + sense in the context where they appear. With a CD-ROM inserted the status + should always be 8, except in aztcd_open(). Try to open the tray, insert an + audio disk, insert no disk or reinsert the CD-ROM and check, if the status + bits change accordingly. The status bits are the most likely point, where + the drive manufacturers may implement changes. + +If you still don't succeed, a good point to start is to look in aztcd.c in +function aztcd_init, where the drive should be detected during init. Do the +following: +-reboot the system with boot parameter 'aztcd=<your base address>,0x79'. With + parameter 0x79 most of the drive version detection is bypassed. After that + you should see the complete version string including leading and trailing + blanks during init. + Now adapt the statement + if ((result[1]=='A')&&(result[2]=='Z' ...) + in aztcd_init() to exactly match the first 3 or 4 letters you have seen. +-Another point is the 'smart' card detection feature in aztcd_init(). Normally + the CD-ROM drive is ready, when aztcd_init is trying to read the version + string and a time consuming ACMD_SOFT_RESET command can be avoided. This is + detected by looking, if AFL_OP_OK can be read correctly. If the CD-ROM drive + hangs in some unknown state, e.g. because of an error before a warm start or + because you first operated under DOS, even the version string may be correct, + but the following commands will not. Then change the code in such a way, + that the ACMD_SOFT_RESET is issued in any case, by substituting the + if-statement 'if ( ...=AFL_OP_OK)' by 'if (1)'. + +If you succeed, please mail me the exact version string of your drive and +the code modifications, you have made together with a short explanation. +If you don't succeed, you may mail me the output of the debugging messages. +But remember, they are only useful, if they are exact and complete and you +describe in detail your hardware setup and what you did (cold/warm reboot, +with/without DOS, DOS-driver started/not started, which Linux-commands etc.) + + +9. TECHNICAL HISTORY OF THE DRIVER +The AZTECH-Driver is a rework of the Mitsumi-Driver. Four major items had to +be reworked: + +a) The Mitsumi drive does issue complete status information acknowledging +each command, the Aztech drive does only signal that the command was +processed. So whenever the complete status information is needed, an extra +ACMD_GET_STATUS command is issued. The handshake procedure for the drive +can be found in the functions aztSendCmd(), sendAztCmd() and getAztStatus(). + +b) The Aztech Drive does not have a ACMD_GET_DISK_INFO command, so the +necessary info about the number of tracks (firstTrack, lastTrack), disk +length etc. has to be read from the TOC in the lead in track (see function +aztGetDiskInfo()). + +c) Whenever data is read from the drive, the Mitsumi drive is started with a +command to read an indefinite (0xffffff) number of sectors. When the appropriate +number of sectors is read, the drive is stopped by a ACDM_STOP command. This +does not work with the Aztech drive. I did not find a way to stop it. The +stop and pause commands do only work in AUDIO mode but not in DATA mode. +Therefore I had to modify the 'finite state machine' in function azt_poll to +only read a certain number of sectors and then start a new read on demand. As I +have not completely understood, how the buffer/caching scheme of the Mitsumi +driver was implemented, I am not sure, if I have covered all cases correctly, +whenever you get timeout messages, the bug is most likely to be in that +function azt_poll() around switch(cmd) .... case ACD_S_DATA. + +d) I did not get information about changing drive mode. So I doubt, that the +code around function azt_poll() case AZT_S_MODE does work. In my test I have +not been able to switch to reading in raw mode. For reading raw mode, Aztech +uses a different command than for cooked mode, which I only have implemen- +ted in the ioctl-section but not in the section which is used by the ISO9660. + +The driver was developed on an AST PC with Intel 486/DX2, 8MB RAM, 340MB IDE +hard disk and on an AST PC with Intel Pentium 60MHz, 16MB RAM, 520MB IDE +running Linux kernel version 1.0.9 from the LST 1.8 Distribution. The kernel +was compiled with gcc.2.5.8. My CD-ROM drive is an Aztech CDA268-01A. My +drive says, that it has Firmware Version AZT26801A1.3. It came with an ISA-bus +interface card and works with polled I/O without DMA and without interrupts. +The code for all other drives was 'remote' tested and debugged by a number of +volunteers on the Internet. + +Points, where I feel that possible problems might be and all points where I +did not completely understand the drive's behaviour or trust my own code are +marked with /*???*/ in the source code. There are also some parts in the +Mitsumi driver, where I did not completely understand their code. + + +10. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS +Without the help of P.Bush, Aztech, who delivered technical information +about the Aztech Drive and without the help of E.Moenkeberg, GWDG, who did a +great job in analyzing the command structure of various CD-ROM drives, this +work would not have been possible. E.Moenkeberg was also a great help in +making the software 'kernel ready' and in answering many of the CDROM-related +questions in the newsgroups. He really is *the* Linux CD-ROM guru. Thanks +also to all the guys on the Internet, who collected valuable technical +information about CDROMs. + +Joe Nardone (joe@access.digex.net) was a patient tester even for my first +trial, which was more than slow, and made suggestions for code improvement. +Especially the 'finite state machine' azt_poll() was rewritten by Joe to get +clean C code and avoid the ugly 'gotos', which I copied from mcd.c. + +Robby Schirmer (schirmer@fmi.uni-passau.de) tested the audio stuff (ioctls) +and suggested a lot of patches for them. + +Joseph Piskor and Peter Nugent were the first users with the ORCHID CD3110 +and also were very patient with the problems which occurred. + +Reinhard Max delivered the information for the CDROM-interface of the +SoundWave32 soundcards. + +Jochen Kunz and Olaf Kaluza delivered the information for supporting Conrad's +TXC drive. + +Hilmar Berger delivered the patches for supporting CyCDROM CR520ie. + +Anybody, who is interested in these items should have a look at 'ftp.gwdg.de', +directory 'pub/linux/cdrom' and at 'ftp.cdrom.com', directory 'pub/cdrom'. + +11. PROGRAMMING ADD ONs: cdplay.c +You can use the ioctl-functions included in aztcd.c in your own programs. As +an example on how to do this, you will find a tiny CD Player for audio CDs +named 'cdplay.c'. It allows you to play audio CDs. You can play a specified +track, pause and resume or skip tracks forward and backwards. If you quit the +program without stopping the drive, playing is continued. You can also +(mis)use cdplay to read and hexdump data disks. You can find the code in the +APPENDIX of this file, which you should cut out with an editor and store in a +separate file 'cdplay.c'. To compile it and make it executable, do + gcc -s -Wall -O2 -L/usr/lib cdplay.c -o /usr/local/bin/cdplay # compiles it + chmod +755 /usr/local/bin/cdplay # makes it executable + ln -s /dev/aztcd0 /dev/cdrom # creates a link + (for /usr/lib substitute the top level directory, where your include files + reside, and for /usr/local/bin the directory, where you want the executable + binary to reside ) + +You have to set the correct permissions for cdplay *and* for /dev/mcd0 or +/dev/aztcd0 in order to use it. Remember, that you should not have /dev/cdrom +mounted, when you're playing audio CDs. + +This program is just a hack for testing the ioctl-functions in aztcd.c. I will +not maintain it, so if you run into problems, discard it or have a look into +the source code 'cdplay.c'. The program does only contain a minimum of user +protection and input error detection. If you use the commands in the wrong +order or if you try to read a CD at wrong addresses, you may get error messages +or even hang your machine. If you get STEN_LOW, STEN_LOW_WAIT or segment violation +error messages when using cdplay, after that, the system might not be stable +any more, so you'd better reboot. As the ioctl-functions run in kernel mode, +most normal Linux-multitasking protection features do not work. By using +uninitialized 'wild' pointers etc., it is easy to write to other users' data +and program areas, destroy kernel tables etc.. So if you experiment with ioctls +as always when you are doing systems programming and kernel hacking, you +should have a backup copy of your system in a safe place (and you also +should try restoring from a backup copy first)! + +A reworked and improved version called 'cdtester.c', which has yet more +features for testing CDROM-drives can be found in +Documentation/cdrom/sbpcd, written by E.Moenkeberg. + +Werner Zimmermann +Fachhochschule fuer Technik Esslingen +(EMail: Werner.Zimmermann@fht-esslingen.de) +October, 1997 + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +APPENDIX: Source code of cdplay.c + +/* Tiny Audio CD Player + + Copyright 1994, 1995, 1996 Werner Zimmermann (Werner.Zimmermann@fht-esslingen.de) + +This program originally was written to test the audio functions of the +AZTECH.CDROM-driver, but it should work with every CD-ROM drive.
