MakeCD drive recognition
------------------------
 
MakeCD selects a suitable SCSI driver based on the vendor and
drive ID of a SCSI or ATAPI drive. If your drive is marked as
"unknown" this only means that you have to select the correct
driver manually.
 
These are hints to find the correct driver:
- For CD writers the CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver is usually the
  right choice if it is a modern (MMC compatible) SCSI drive
  or ATAPI drive.
- The CD_ROM.driver is suitable if you are absolutely sure
  that your CD-ROM does not support CDDA extraction with any
  of the other CD_#?.drivers.
- The CD_ATAPI.driver should be the right one for all ATAPI
  CD-ROMs, however, not all drives support audio reading
  (e.g. some Mitsumis don't). Please tell us if yours doesn't.
- The CD_Sony.driver should only be used if the
  CD_Plextor.driver fails with an error concerning the
  command MODE_SELECT. They both use the same command for
  CDDA extraction, but CD_Plextor.driver also sets the
  speed.
- The CD_ATAPI.driver might work for new SCSI CD-ROMs, too,
  because the commands used are part of the SCSI 3 standard.
  So if the driver you use at the moment allows CDDA
  extraction, but not speed setting, then you might try
  CD_ATAPI.driver.
 
You can help us and other users by telling us your drives ID
and the correct SCSI driver for it. MakeCD displays the complete
ID in the settings window and the device selection requester. If
you cannot snap the string there, you might also goto these
windows, return to the main window and save the debug log with
the menu item "Project/Write logfile...". It will contain the ID.
 
Please write to patrick@core.de. Please tell me also if you have
done tests with other drivers - otherwise I won't know if e.g. the
Plextor driver doesn't work while Sony does or if Plextor just
wasn't tested. Thanks for your help!
