According to the page http://tuxmobil.org/pcmcia_ci10123.html , the
driver "aha152x_cs" should work.
In the file /etc/pcmcia/config you should already have :
> card "Adaptec APA-1460 SlimSCSI"
> version "Adaptec, Inc.", "APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter"
> bind "aha152x_cs"
Under it, you add :
card "PCMCIA CDWriter - SCSI bus"
manfid: 0x0032, 0x2604
bind "aha152x_cs"
Then restart pcmcia with "/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart"
If everything goes fine, the (SCSI) device should be detected
(check /proc/scsi/scsi).
If you do have it, the cdrom should be available under /dev/scd0. But
you _might_ have to create /dev/scd manually, with something like
cd /dev ; mknod scd0 b 11 0 ; chgrp cdrom /dev/scd0 nl -s cdrom scd0
If everything went fine, "mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom" should then work.
