Brad, Your problems with the CD-ROM under Linux are very similar to mine (although my CD-ROM is built in). On a good side, yesterday I made a SCSI Toshiba CD-ROM work with a Bust Toaster PCMCIA card. It worked superbly. All I needed to do is 'mount -t iso9600 /dev/scd0 /cdrom' and I was done. The build in CD-ROM for 755CD is IDE ATAPI, and it was identified as such. but the file ide-cd.c in the kernel drivers/block directory seems to have bugs. Your Caldera drive is also ATAPI, so it points to the same source of problems. > A possibly related problem is that when I had the CDROM in my Thinkpad, > my PCMCIA Ethernet card (GVC NE2000 compat) was going nuts and I geting > errors. When I switched the Ethernet card to the second PCMCIA socket, > all was fine! ... This seems like a different problem, perhaps with the PCMCIA card. I use a Kingston EtheRx card and it appears to work fine in both PCMCIA slots. This one needs an entry in pcmcia/config which is a copy of the IBM Credit Card adapter's entry. Thank you. -- Marek R.
