I just built 2.0.18...I have a sony CD rom I rarely use on another
machine...I just tried to install slackware, and found it didn't
take cdu31a= anymore...

After some looking at source and head scratching, I found
cdu31a_port=

I have one sony driver and make it a module...

Can I hard code the address so I don't have to do anything
extra when I load it...at one time it autoprobed, I assume all
I have to do is:

static struct cdu31a_addresses[] = { { 0x320, 0}, { } };

It probably would be preferable to have better instructions to
customize its use...
