The 2.0.5 CD release seems unable to see a panasonic/matsuSHITa cdrom drive plugged into an Acermagic S20 soundcard in "SB emulate mode". Looking at the sources [which I can do via ms-loss] I see that /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/ matcd/options.h has the base I/O ports for soundblasters in the port_hints[] array as 0x230 and 0x240 with a "ports SB can use" comment. This disagrees with the Acer config utility, which offers options for *0x220* and 0x240, and also disagrees with an Acer t.s. rep's assertion that 0x220 is THE default base port for ALL soundblasters and emulations thereof. Not 0x230. Would this explain why GENERIC is still unable to see the cdrom?? Sorry if this particular problem has been discovered and fixed long since and I just haven't read the right updated faq. I'd build a new kernel and test the theory, but I've got a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem here... _H*
