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.
