Well, I'm no expert either. I will say that xcdplayer works > well with my matcd. Now works with mine too. Trouble was that the Soundblaster 16 docs come with no mention of any options setting either irq or ioaddr for the cdrom, but the matcd controller line in the config file wants one. I'm using some info from Brian Clapper, which has me working, but he admits he has no idea why it works either. I *hate* magic incantations. If I could get any more info, I'd write up a handbook submission, but all I have is a working system (now). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
