Hello, someone gave me a 4x cdrom with a panasonic interface for free, and my sb16 model CT2300(something) has a panasonic connector, so I went about trying to get it to work. so far, no luck. I have no idea what port the panasonic connector is supposed to use, and my cdrom is a Teac 4x model CD55A. According to the price tag, someone payed $209 for it way back when :) Strange thing is, is during when the kernel probes for it, the drive's light comes on, and it seems to try to make activity, but still doesnt detect. Someone clued me in that the port may be 0x340 and I have tried that but still no go. I also tried isa? port? in the kernel conf file but it still doesnt probe. there are four jumpers on the cdrom, and I belueve they are for a device id of some kind. appearently ther panasonic interface allowed daisy chaining of up to 4 devices. the jumper was on #2 when I got it, and I have tried with all four, one at a time. I also have matcdc0 thru 3 in the conf file just incase. A standard 40 pin ide cable is what im using to connect it to the panasonic interface on my sb16. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
