- I have put my driver for the Sony CDU-31A CDROM drive on
- sunsite.unc.edu in the incoming directory. This will drive the newer
- Sony interface (not SCSI) drives for audio and data. It is named
- sonycd-0.2.tar.Z. This fixes many problems with the 0.1 driver.
-
- I just talked with Sony (after finishing the driver) and they say this
- will NOT work with the older CDU-535. The CDU-31A is Sony's newer
- bigger faster better drive that came out recently. I am getting the
- programmer's manual for the 535, but I'm not holding my breath about
- compatibility. If someone wants to try it out with a CDU-535, I would
- like to hear the results. I will try to add support for the 535 in
- future versions, but since I don't have one, I can't promise anything.
-
- The 0.1 version include xcdplayer; if you want that you will also
- need to get sonycd-0.1.tar.Z
