The 2.4 patch contains: Nov 5 2001, Aug 8 2002. Modified by Andy Polyakov to support MMC-3 complaint DVD+RW units. and Nigel changed it to this in his 2.6 patch: Modified by Nigel Kukard - support DVD+RW 2.4.x patch by Andy Polyakov The patch I sent you deleted most of the earlier work and moved the rest to cdrom.c, but the comments were not moved over, since the earlier authors didn't modify cdrom.c. Nigel wants to get credit for his work though, so were should we put those messages?
