And then there should come sooner or later a message like cardmgr: executing: './scsi start sr0' or something like this ... but obvious this doesn't happen ... perhaps (I have no personal experience with PCMCIA scsi cards :) the wrong driver, here a quote from /usr/doc/pcmcia-cs/SUPPORTED.CARDS.gz: [ Be careful. Many vendors. particularly CD-ROM vendors, seem to switch controller chips more or less at will. Generally, they'll use a different product code, but not always: older (supported) New Media Bus Toaster cards are not easily distinguishable from the current Symbios-based cards, which use the contributed 53c500 driver, distributed separately. ] Try this: Have a look at /etc/pcmcia/config and change card "New Media Bus Toaster SCSI" version "New Media", "SCSI", "Bus Toaster" bind "aha152x_cs" in card "New Media Bus Toaster SCSI" version "New Media", "SCSI", "Bus Toaster" bind "sym53c500_cs" so that the other driver is loaded. Restart PCMCIA services (/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart) and insert the card again... (To mount the drive, a mount /cdrom should be suficient, after the card is recogniced correctly ... acording to the source code). Martin PS: If that won't work, consider compiling a newer version of PCMCIA service... -- If the box says 'Windows 95 or better', it should run on Linux, right? - anonymous For public PGP-key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED]
