     NAME
          cdrom - CD-ROM disk interface

     SYNOPSIS
          bind -a #Rn /dev

          /dev/cdn

          bind -a #m /dev

          /dev/cd
          /dev/cdctl

     DESCRIPTION
          The SCSI CD-ROM disk interface (#R) serves a one-level
          directory for a SCSI target holding a CD-ROM drive.  Each
          drive is represented as a single file named #Rn/cdn, where n
          is the target number.  A separate attach is necessary for
          each drive.

          On PCs, Panasonic, Matsushita, and Mitsumi CD-ROM drives
          connected to a Sound Blaster 16, Pro, MCD, or ACX card are
          also supported.  This interface (#m) device serves a data
          file, #m/cd, and a control file, #m/cdctl.  The control file
          is read-only and contains a string stating the type of drive
          and its port number.  The driver determines the type of CD-
          ROM drive by a parameter in plan9.ini; see plan9.ini(8).
