33.Nm cd
34.Nd device driver for SCSI subsystem
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38device driver provides the
39.Tn SCSI
40subsystem a way to handle type 5
41.Pq Dv T_READONLY
42media.  Some drives don't behave as the driver expects.  See the section
43QUIRKS for info on possible flags.
44.Sh QUIRKS
45Each
46.Tn CD-ROM
47device can have different interpretations of the
48.Tn SCSI
49spec.  This can lead to drives requiring special handling in the driver.  The
50following is a list of quirks that the driver recognize.  See
51.Xr scsiconf 9
52for more information on how to add quirk entries.
53.Bl -tag -width CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS
54.It Dv CD_Q_NO_TOUCH
55This flag tell the driver not to probe the drive at attach time to see if
56there is a disk in the drive and find out what size it is.
57.ig xx
58.It Dv CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS
59This flag is for broken drives that return the track numbers in packed BCD
60encoding instead of straight decimal.  If the drive seems to skip tracks
61.Pq usually tracks 10-15 are skipped
62then you have a drive that is in need of this flag.
