Are there any users who use the matcd(4), mcd(4) or scd(4) drivers? These drivers are for rather old non-standard CD-ROM controllers most of which only support 1x speeds. :) There are several changes being made to the kernel API's used by device drivers in -current. Unless we can find some people who actually use these devices and can test patches for these drivers we will have to drop support for them. So, is anyone out there still using this old hardware? Note that if support for these ancient devices was dropped, it wouldn't be dropped until 5.0. 4.x. would continue to support these devices forever. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
