Hi folks,
It appears upgrading pcmcia-cs may not be the issue. The link
http://www.joechiu.com/computing/vaio/linuxon505.html
says the Sony CD-ROM pc-card gets identified as: "NinjaATA-" TEAC IDE
chip.
I see the NinjaATA entry in on my (ancient in most people's term) Redhat 5.2
/etc/pcmcia/config file. (pcmcia-cs version 3.0.5).
So I don't think upgrading pcmcia-cs is the issue here.
I suggest reading the instructions at the above link more carefully
and also running 'cardctl ident', etc, to see what version and identifier
strings are coming out of the card. Might just have to tweak the
entry in /etc/pcmcia/config to get it recognized.
