CD-Rom driver
I was wondering how to create a simple cd-rom driver to read from the CD Drive.

Re: CD-Rom driver
Start with ATA and its manual.
Re: CD-Rom driver
There are multiple layers to this.
Firstly, you want to have an ATA driver as combuster said.
On top of that you want a cdrom driver that supports CD filesystems such as iso9660, rock ridge extensions and joliet extensions.
On top of that you probably want a VFS so you can hook in extra filesystems transparently to user programs.
is9660 is easy to implement. If you like, i can share some of my code which (with a few minor tweaks) sits on top of the ATA code given in these forums.
If you want any further help, just ask.
