Adds support for non-Sound Blaster host adapters, including those
distributed by Reveal, Lasermate, IBM, Media Vision, Crystal and others.
The driver automatically senses the correct adapter type and you can
have both in the system at the same time.
(This change should eliminate a few complaints.)
Corrected bit-masking problem that prevented use on SB Vibra-16 boards.
Declared some internal data and functions static that should have been
that way all along.
Documentation changes reflect the new hardware support and change the
appearance version to 2.0.5 (was 2.1). Nice and tidy. :-)
Beta testers have verified functionality on SB16, Vibra-16, Media Vision
and Reveal adapters. -Wall still shows no warnings.

new driver code, there are diffs to several other existing files
on the system and a man page.
This version of matcd implements the rest of the key ioctls related to
playing audio CDs and reading table of contents information from any
type of disc.
This update also corrects several problems detected since the original
version 1(10) was released. These include:
1. Jordons report on the kernel -c string problem.
2. A problem with the driver being confused by other types of
devices located at addresses it probes.
3. An old CD TOC wouldn't always be cleared after a disc change.
4. Cleaned up code so -Wall yields no warnings on 2.0 and later.
5. A problem with drive getting out of sync with the driver when
changing between CD-Data and CD-DA.
There have only been two reports from the field relating to problems
so either the first release isn't really being used or doesn't have
many problems.
If there are any problems with this submission, please let me know.
