34.Nm cd
35.Nd device driver for SCSI subsystem
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39device driver provides the
40.Tn SCSI
41subsystem a way to handle type 5
42.Pq Dv T_READONLY
43media.  Some drives don't behave as the driver expects.  See the section
44QUIRKS for info on possible flags.
45.Sh QUIRKS
46Each
47.Tn CD-ROM
48device can have different interpretations of the
49.Tn SCSI
50spec.  This can lead to drives requiring special handling in the driver.  The
51following is a list of quirks that the driver recognize.  See
52.Xr scsiconf 9
53for more information on how to add quirk entries.
54.Bl -tag -width CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS
55.It Dv CD_Q_NO_TOUCH
56This flag tell the driver not to probe the drive at attach time to see if
57there is a disk in the drive and find out what size it is.
58.ig xx
59.It Dv CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS
60This flag is for broken drives that return the track numbers in packed BCD
61encoding instead of straight decimal.  If the drive seems to skip tracks
62.Pq usually tracks 10-15 are skipped
63then you have a drive that is in need of this flag.
