For the Sony CD-reader (PCGA-CD51/A), the PCMCIA card does NOT have any switch on it. Nor any such switch on the reader. If I do 'cardctl ident' when the Sony CD-reader PCMCIA is inserted I get: : Socket 0: : product info: " ", "NinjaATA-", "V1.0", "AP00 " I _do_ have a HP CD-Writer (M820 series) where the PCMCIA card DOES have such a switch. It was already set on CardBus. When I insert the HP CD-Writer and do 'cardctl ident' I get: : Socket 0: : product info: "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-001", "1" : manfid: 0x0032, 0x2604 : PCI id: 0x1145, 0xf007 and /var/log/syslog says when I insert this device Feb 15 10:42:31 hypathia cardmgr[336]: unsupported card in socket 0 Feb 15 10:42:31 hypathia kernel: cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x1145, device 0xf007 Feb 15 10:42:31 hypathia cardmgr[336]: product info: "KME ", "SCSI-CARD-001", "1" Feb 15 10:42:31 hypathia cardmgr[336]: manfid: 0x0032, 0x2604 Feb 15 10:42:31 hypathia cardmgr[336]: PCI id: 0x1145, 0xf007 But I do not have better luck with HP CD-Writer than I do with the Sony CD-reader - both give me the same response when I do 'mount /cdrom': : mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device I was trying to get the Sony CD-reader to work first, but either would be acceptable.
