Have a look at:
http://www.joechiu.com/computing/vaio/linuxon505.html
and perhaps some of the other 505 links at:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/
The first link suggests the 3.0.9 version of the pcmcia card services
supports the card. And indeed I see:
haystack[118] pwd
/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.3
haystack[119] grep -i sony SUPPORTED.CARDS
Sony CD-ROM Discman PRD-250
Sony PCGA-CD5 CD-ROM
Hopefully the latter is yours. The driver is evidently "ide_cs".
Best of luck,
Karl
