Media vision Pro Sonic 16: Problems with CDROM interface

A CDROM (e.g. CR-52x, CR-56x) connected to this sound card with MKE interface (Panasonic's own bus) was basicly not detected, although it worked in previous Linux installations.

Obviously there is a defectuous MKE interface at the sound card.

Lars Karmann (SOL@nathan.dinet.de) writes about it:

I have confirmed by asking at the manufacturer's support, that a very high rewind ratio, due to errors in the Panasonic CD interface, is appeared at the sound card

        Media Vision Pro Sonic 16

The sound card has been widely spread - good and very cheap. There are still today newer models with the same chipset (Jazz 16).

The error appears under DOS mostly by always growing longer initialisation times , and Linux settles down completely crosswise - as at mine. Oh yes, funnily, there is a very high error ratio when formatting a disk on some computers with a faulty sound card. What this has to do with the soundcard, they could not tell me anything.

Since it is concerned about a chronically growing big defect, one can himself look for it to death, like me. After all, my old Linux ran perfectly some weeks ago.

further comments

A Panasonic Interface card creates the remedy (or supports another CDROM with ATAPI interface)

Panasonic CDROMs with either IDE (ATAPI) or SCSI interface are of course not affected by this.
