Hello,
I am trying to read a digital cameral Compact Flash by inserting it
into a "pcmcia" (PC Card) carrier, and inserting that combination into
a SCSI PC Card Reader (Microtech). This SCSI card reader is connected
via an external SCSI cable to an AHA-2940UW SCSI controller.
I expect that I can do a "mount" of this device and read it as a
drive. My initial attempts were not successful, and it occured to me
that perhaps the format of data on this Compact Flash was not
recognizable to the file system.
What I tried:
bash-2.02# mount /dev/da1 /flash
mount: /dev/da1 on /flash: incorrect super block
Here is some information which may be helpful:
# cat /var/log/messages

... /kernel: da2: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present
<snip>
This SCSI PC Card Reader will read PC Cards in slot 1 and
"Smartmedia" in slot 2. I have a PC-Card mounted in slot 1. I
suspect that "da1" corresponds to "slot 1" and da2 corresponds to
"slot 2".
Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome.
