External, battery-operated (or optionally power supply) black case into
which is plugged a regular laptop CD-ROM drive. I presume it would hold
other things (IDE floppy drive?).
IBM Portable Drive Bay
No manfid, so I filled in the Product Info as
card "PCMCIA IDE CARD (IBM CD-ROM)"
version "PCMCIA", "IDE CARD", "F1"
bind "ide-cs"
pcmcia found the card in the socket, inserted the modules, and the drive
spun.
What do I call the device? It is not
hda1 hdb1-4, hdc1-4, hdd1-4 hde1-hdg1
sda1 sdb1 (after inserting scsi_mod and sd_mod)
'not a valid block device'
(I tried '4' because zip drives are sda4 or hdd4 etc.)
The CD-ROM HOWTO said these drives should act like any other CD-ROM drives
after the modules are inserted.
