Fsys.mitsumi

Driver for Mitsumi LU-005 and FX-001 CD-ROM

Syntax:

Fsys.mitsumi [-a controller]  [-i interrupt]
             [-m maxsize] [-n name]

Options:

-a controller

The controller address (default is 300 hex).

-i interrupt

The interrupt level used by the controller (default is 10).

-m maxsize

The maximum number of blocks that can be transferred from the disk to memory in one operation (default is 127, max 127).

-n name

The name of the block special device associated with the hard drive. The default is cd (e.g. /dev/cd0)

Description:

Fsys.mitsumi supports the non-IDE (non-ATAPI) Mitsumi internal CD-ROM drive models LU-005 and FX-001. The FX-001 unit is run in "double-spin" mode.

This driver supports only audio CDs and data CDs recorded in mode 1 (most CD-ROMs are mode 1). It does not have support for mode 2 or multi-session CDs (photo CDs).

Examples:

Start the Fsys.mitsumi driver to work with hardware in its default configuration:

    Fsys.mitsumi &

Files:

This driver closes its standard input, standard output and standard error after startup. If an error occurs during startup, a diagnostic message is written to the standard error and Fsys.mitsumi exits with a non-zero exit status.

Fsys.mitsumi causes Fsys to register a block special file in /dev directory. This name will normally be /dev/cdn, but this may be changed by specifying a different name to the -n option.

Exit status:

>0

An error occurred during startup, or Fsys.mitsumi was killed via a signal.

0

Fsys.mitsumi was not started in the background, and successfully forked itself leaving a copy running in the background and the original returning a 0 exit status.

Caveats:

Don't use slay to shut down a filesystem driver! If you do, new drivers may not be able to load properly and Fsys itself may experience internal errors.

If you need to shut down a filesystem driver, follow the steps in the "Driver shutdown" section in the documentation for Fsys.
