| |
There is a minor bug in the Sanyo 3-CD changer patch. The patch defaults to using the standard ATAPI changer support if it does not detect a Sanyo 3-CD changer. Between revisions of the firmware for the drive, Sanyo had changed the model string which is used by the driver for detecting the drive. Drives manufactored approx a year ago gave a model type of "CD-ROM CDR-C3 G" where as drives manufactored more recently are reported to be "CD-ROM CDR-C3G" The missing space is enough to break the patch for users with this newer firmware revision.
Anyone who owns a Sanyo 3-CD changer and is unable to get it to work with Linux 2.0.4 should check the following URL for information on getting the drive working: http://orion.it.luc.edu/~bgallia/cdrom.html
Problems/flames/horror stories and esp. success stories regarding the Linux Sanyo 3-CD changer support should be emailed to: bgallia@luc.edu
Special thanks to Steffen Kremser for pointing out the problem and how to resolve it!
