Very Computer

I have a Media Vision MV2100 multimedia upgrade kit that
came with a Deluxe MCD sound card (has jazz16 printed on
one of the chips) and a sanyo H94A 2X cdrom drive. The dos
and windows3.1 installation notes suggest the use of
the panasoic interface.

I am currently running linux 1.2.8 and the sbpcd.c
panasonic interface states it is not suitable for the sanyo.

Has anyone successfully recompiled their kernels for
the MVD sound card with sanyo H94A* off it?

The linux CDROM howto mentions an experimental sjcd
driver (kernel patch). Where can I can a copy of this?

Thank you very much.

You need to get a newer kernel. I'm using 1.3.42 and it runs my Sanyo just
fine. When you are configuring the kernel just look for the Sanyo cdrom.

I have the same CD-ROM drive...and the Linux CD from the Using Linux
book.  I am unable to install to my system from the CD right now.  Does
anyone have a way I can do this (besides copying from the CD to the
HD--the only room is on the partition _for_ Linux)?

While I'm at it...does anyone have experience with the VLB EIDE & Fast
I/O Controller (S1346)?  I use this to get a 3rd hard
drive...unfortunately I cannot cold boot & get the drive to be seen by
the system--but if I "kick the drive" by loading its driver in DOS &
warmbooting, the drive is visible to DOS & OS/2.  Linux doesn't see it.  
I have AMI BIOS (very recent version) & the Linux is version 1.1.59

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

The solution is to use one of Slackware 3.0's extra v. 1.3 kernels to
recognize your particular drive...  Also, I'm pretty sure a guy posted a
complete step by step procedure for this exact drive, in this forum
(comp.os.linux.setup) a few days ago... if you can't find his posting,
get in touch with me and I will give you his e-mail address.  Bob L.
