+This is the README for the sjcd cdrom driver, version 1.6.
 
 This file is meant as a tips & tricks edge for the usage of the SANYO CDR-H94A
 cdrom drive. It will grow as the questions arise. ;-)
-Since the drive often comes with an ISP16 soundcard, which can be used
-as cdrom interface, this is also the place for ISP16 related issues.
+For info on configuring the ISP16 sound card look at Documetation/cdrom/isp16.
 
-The driver should work with any SoundBlaster/Panasonic style CDROM interface,
-including the "soft configurable" MediaMagic sound card.
-To make this sound card (and others like "Mozart") working, it has to get 
-"configured" by software.
-The suggestion to configure the ISP16 soundcard by booting DOS and 
-a warm reboot to boot Linux somehow doesn't work, at least not
-on Eric's machine (IPC P90), with the version of the ISP16
-card he has (there appear to be at least two versions: Eric's card with
-no jumpered IDE support and OPTi 82C928 chip, and Vadim's version
-with a jumper to enable IDE support, probably with a OPTi 82C929 chip).
-Therefore detection and configuration of the ISP16 interfaces is included
-in the driver.
-If we should support any other interfaces (which cannot be configured
-through DOS) or if there are any more ISP16 types, please let us
-know (maarel@marin.nl) and we'll see.
-
-Otherwise, you should boot DOS once (and by this, run the "configuration driver")
-and then switch to Linux by use of CTRL-ALT-DEL. Each use of the RESET
-button or the power switch makes this procedure necessary again.
-If no ISP16 is detected, there's no harm done; a card configured trough DOS
-may still work as expected.
-
-As of version 1.4 sound through the speakers is supported; only for MSS-mode 
-and no volume controle yet.
-
-PAUSE and STOP ioctl commands don't seem to work yet.
-
-ISP16 configuration routines reside at Vadim's server
-      ftp.rbrf.ru:/linux/mediamagic/
-and at Eberhard's mirror
-      ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/cdrom/drivers/sanyo/
-
-Leo Spiekman's configuration routines for the ISP-16 card can get found at
-      dutette.et.tudelft.nl:/pub/linux/
-and at Eberhard's mirror
-      ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/cdrom/drivers/optics/
-
-Eric van der Maarel's routines are included in sjcd.c.
-This, and any related stuff may be found by anonymous ftp at

+The driver should work with any of the Panasonic, Sony or Mitsum style
+CDROM interface.
+The cdrom interface on Media Magic's soft configurable sound card ISP16,
+which used to be included in the driver, is now supported in a separate module.
+This initilisation module will probably also work with other interfaces
+based on an OPTi 82C928 or 82C929 chip (like MAD16 and Mozart): see the
+documentation Documentation/cdrom/isp16.

+As of version 1.2, setting base address at boot time is supported
 through the use of command line options: type at the "boot:" prompt:

+i/o address with SJCD_BASE_ADDR in include/linux/sjcd.h.
