29.Sh NAME
30.Nm mcd
31.Nd Mitsumi CD-ROM driver
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Cd "mcd0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10"
34.Cd "options MCD_PROMISC"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38driver provides support for
39.Tn Mitsumi
40.Tn CD-ROM
41controller and drive on the
42.Xr isa 4
43bus.

56.Sh BUGS
57The
58.Nm
59hardware is  difficult to probe accurately.
60Historically, the
61.Nm
62probe would accept any return values as indicating that an
63.Nm
64drive was present.  Other devices, particularly
65.Xr ne 4
66or
67.Xr we 4 ,
68would then be incorrectly claimed by the
69.Nm
70driver.  The driver now only accepts result codes known to indicate
71Mitsumi-compatible CD controllers, but may reject some
72.Nm
73hardware which  returns other result codes.
74.Pp
75.Cd "options MCD_PROMISC"
76enables the  original promiscuous probe behaviour. Use with extreme caution.
