I am trying to install RedHat 3.0.3 on
a PC with a CD-ROM which their kernal does not,
thus far, recognize.
The CD-ROM mechanism is a 6X, purchased
in summer '96 from a "Future Shop".
The driver disk which came with the CD-ROM is
labeled:
Turtle Beach
TBS 6001/6010 6x CDROM Kit v2.00F
and comes with drivers for DOS/Win/NT/OS/2.
On the CD-ROM mechanism is printed:
NISSEI SANGYO America Ltd.
NSA CD-ROM drive unit model NSCD-6X
TUV Product Services
It uses a seperate controller card,
but the kernal does not find (when autoprobing,
or by specifying kernal parameters)
mitsumi, panasonic, sony, soundblaster, aztcd,
or any listed in the RedHat 3.0.3 docs.
The drive also did not respond to
attempts to treat is as IDE/ATAPI on
/dev/hdb, /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd.
On the (ISA) controller card there are:
J5 IDE connector, a block of 2 jumpers, 4-pin audio in
4 ICs:
(TI logo) 54D1VVK SNL4LS245N
(unknown logo) PAL16L8BCN 3254PAE D
(AG, double tilde-logo) SP9052 DM74ALS244AN
(TI logo) 54D1X2K SN74LS245N
FCC ID: J8Y2183
and 2 RCA audio out (L,R) connectors on back
The card's BIOS reports it uses
Port 0x170, IRQ 15
MS-Win95 hardware detection calls the CD-ROM
a "FUNAI E 2650" firmware 1.1
A recent version
http://www.caldera.com/LDP/HOWTO/CDROM-HOWTO-3.html
of the CDROM-HOWTO didn't list any drivers
with names indicating support for "Turtle Beach"
or "Funai". Also, I didn't find any reference
to new drivers which were recognizable as being
suitable for this card.
Does anyone know what this beastie is,
and whether Linux drivers exist for it?
Replies by email to
would be appreciated (I will also check
this NG).
TIA...and hoping a driver exists!
