Thanks for your reply.
cdctl tells me that there's an unsupported card in the socket, but I know it
is supported because it's listed in supported.cards and in pcmcia/config. My
problem is I don't know the correct way to edit the config file. If someone
could give me the syntax and where to put it I would be most appreciative.
I've read the documentation, and it's very vague on the CD-ROM's--or maybe I
just don't know what I'm looking for.


Thank you,
Marc
