 To allow this "coexistence" as long as mcdx.c is not a superset of mcd.c,
 this driver has to use its own device files. We use MAJOR 20 for it. So,
 you have to do
+
  # mknod /dev/mcdx0 b 20 0
  # mknod /dev/mcdx1 b 20 1
+
 and so on, one entry for each drive to support, once.
 
 If you are using the driver as a module, you can specify your ports and IRQs
 like
+
  # insmod mcdx.o mcdx=0x300,11,0x304,5
+
 and so on ("address,IRQ" pairs).
 This will override the configuration in mcdx.h.
