Hi,
I have Sony VAIO PCG-505X in my home, and I have installed RedHat5.1.
In order to use the cdrom drive, PCGA-CD5, we need to add some lines
to files as follows:
/etc/pcmcia/config
card "Sony PCGA-CD5 CD-ROM""
version " ", "NinjaATA-", "V1.0", "AP00 "
bind "fixed_cs"
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
CORE_OPTS="unreset_delay=300"
