     mcd -- Mitsumi CD-ROM driver


SYNOPSIS

SEE ALSO

BUGS

     The mcd hardware is  difficult to probe accurately.  Historically, the
     mcd probe would accept any return values as indicating that an mcd drive
     was present.  Other devices, particularly ne(4) or we(4), would then be
     incorrectly claimed by the mcd driver.  The driver now only accepts
     result codes known to indicate Mitsumi-compatible CD controllers, but may
     reject some mcd hardware which  returns other result codes.

     options MCD_PROMISC enables the  original promiscuous probe behaviour.
     Use with extreme caution.
