Hi,

There's a new driver for the old Panasonic (Matsushita) CR-56x
CDROM drive. It's smaller than sbpcd, can detect disk changes,
works with Workman, etc. Note that there's no SoundBlaster
interface support in the driver yet.

More info can be found at:

The driver:

ftp://ftp.tarki.hu/pub/linux/pcd/pcd-0.13.tar.gz

Also a question to device driver gurus:

Is there a reliable delay-with-sleep method for polling
drivers? I experienced strange early rescheduling with
the popular current->state=INTERRUPTIBLE; schedule() method.
And, the timers allow delay at least two jiffies.

Thanks.

Cheers,
