timeout(9). However, we are eventually going to start requiring drivers to not use Giant either (and retiring timeout(9) is a step in that direction). Also, most of these drivers are for ancient hardware. scd(4) is support for a relatively rare pre-ATA CD controller. The much-more common matcd(4) driver (which is the driver used by my old SoundBlaster 16 card that provided a CD controller (not just sound, but data as well)) was removed back in 2002. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
