Hi,

Does anyone know whether linux has a kernel which supports the
Goldstar R420B interface.  I have a double speed Goldstar CD-Rom and
according to documentation provided on the url
http://www.panix.com/~stimpson/linux.html states that this CD-Rom is
supported but I can't find a patch for it anywhere.  I have tried the
Linux documentation project home page and tried to search for it with
the "Search software map" option to see if it finds this driver but it
does not appear to.

I am currently using Linux 2.3 Slackware with Kernel 1.2.8 on CD from
Walnut Creek CDROM.  Do I need a version update???

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
joe90@wave.co.nz

  Check out kernel releases around 1.3.32. They support goldstar.
