These features include the -ability to enable both the builtin CDROM and joystick ports. - -pss_enable_joystick - - This parameter is basically a flag. A 0 will leave the joystick port -disabled, while a non-zero value would enable the joystick port. The default -setting is pss_enable_joystick=0 as this keeps this driver fully compatible -with systems that were using previous versions of this driver. If you wish to -enable the joystick port you will have to add pss_enable_joystick=1 as an -argument to the driver. To actually use the joystick port you will then have -to load the joystick driver itself. Just remember to load the joystick driver -AFTER the pss sound driver. - -pss_cdrom_port - - This parameter takes a port address as its parameter. Any available port -address can be specified to enable the CDROM port, except for 0x0 and -1 as -these values would leave the port disabled. Like the joystick port, the cdrom -port will require that an appropriate CDROM driver be loaded before you can make -use of the newly enabled CDROM port. Like the joystick port option above, -remember to load the CDROM driver AFTER the pss sound driver. While it may -differ on some PSS sound cards, all the PSS sound cards that I have seen have a -builtin Wearnes CDROM port. If this is the case with your PSS sound card you -should load aztcd with the appropriate port option that matches the port you -assigned to the CDROM port when you loaded your pss sound driver. (ex. -modprobe pss pss_cdrom_port=0x340 && modprobe aztcd aztcd=0x340) The default -setting of this parameter leaves the CDROM port disabled to maintain full -compatibility with systems using previous versions of this driver. - - Other options have also been added for the added convenience and utility -of the user. These options are only available if this driver is loaded as a -module. - -pss_no_sound - - This module parameter is a flag that can be used to tell the driver to -just configure non-sound components. 0 configures all components, a non-0 -value will only attempt to configure the CDROM and joystick ports. This -parameter can be used by a user who only wished to use the builtin joystick -and/or CDROM port(s) of his PSS sound card. If this driver is loaded with this -parameter and with the parameter below set to true then a user can safely unload -this driver with the following command "rmmod pss && rmmod ad1848 && rmmod -mpu401 && rmmod sound && rmmod soundcore" and retain the full functionality of -his CDROM and/or joystick port(s) while gaining back the memory previously used -by the sound drivers. This default setting of this parameter is 0 to retain -full behavioral compatibility with previous versions of this driver. - -pss_keep_settings - - This parameter can be used to specify whether you want the driver to reset -all emulations whenever its unloaded. This can be useful for those who are -sharing resources (io ports, IRQ's, DMA's) between different ISA cards. This -flag can also be useful in that future versions of this driver may reset all -emulations by default on the driver's unloading (as it probably should), so -specifying it now will ensure that all future versions of this driver will -continue to work as expected. The default value of this parameter is 1 to -retain full behavioral compatibility with previous versions of this driver. - -pss_firmware - - This parameter can be used to specify the file containing the firmware -code so that a user could tell the driver where that file is located instead -of having to put it in a predefined location with a predefined name. The -default setting of this parameter is "/etc/sound/pss_synth" as this was the -path and filename the hardcoded value in the previous versions of this driver. - -Examples: - -# Normal PSS sound card system, loading of drivers. -# Should be specified in an rc file (ex. Slackware uses /etc/rc.d/rc.modules). - -/sbin/modprobe pss pss_io=0x220 mpu_io=0x338 mpu_irq=9 mss_io=0x530 mss_irq=10 mss_dma=1 pss_cdrom_port=0x340 pss_enable_joystick=1 -/sbin/modprobe aztcd aztcd=0x340 -/sbin/modprobe joystick - -# System using the PSS sound card just for its CDROM and joystick ports. -# Should be specified in an rc file (ex.
