The DriveIN (http://www.freecom.de/e_drivein.htm) is a chassis unit into which
you place an ATAPI cdrom, dvd player etc.

I'm now using the paride from 2.0.37-pre-patch-10 and getting:

insmod paride

paride: version 1.04 installed

insmod friq

paride: friq registered as protocol 0

insmod pcd verbose=1

pcd0: friq: port 0x3bc, mode 0, test=(255,255,128)

pcd0: Reset (1) signature = 0 1 1 14 eb (incorrect)

I try it again and get a different signature:

insmod pcd verbose=1

pcd: pcd version 1.05s, major 46, nice 0
pcd0: friq: port 0x3bc, mode 0, test=(255,255,128)

pcd: No CDrom drive found
Initialization of pcd failed

lsmod

Module: #pages: Used by:

paride 1 [friq] 1

Then it fails completely as below until I reset the hardware with a power
cycle.
