I take it you went ahead and got the IDE pcmcia card. : 2) However, it pretty much locks my machine up solid for what : seems like an eternity (20-60 sec) before it probes and attaches : the drive. The drive is inserted without media. There are all : sorts of dire warnings in the manual about removing media before : powering of/ejecting from the drive (Is this FUD?). : : Is this just par for the course? The Sony-branded cdrom does : not have this effect on my machine. Is this a quirk of the drive : or of the atapifd attachment? Don't know. I do know that my cdrom doesn't have the problem. You might try config 0x2 and see if that works differently. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
