    Hi all,

    I'm trying to make my "memory stick" (sony) internal reader work on a
    samsung x10 laptop.

    This internal reader is in fact slot 0 of my RICOH yenta pcmcia controller.
    Right now I have :

    $ /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
    Starting PCMCIA services: using yenta_socket instead of i82365
    cardmgr[4713]: watching 2 sockets
    done.

    $ pcic_probe
    PCI bridge probe: Ricoh RL5C476 found, 2 sockets.

    When I insert my card, I get :

    $ tail -f /var/log/daemon.log
    Jun 29 18:15:23 etamine cardmgr[4793]: unsupported card in socket 0
    Jun 29 18:15:23 etamine cardmgr[4793]: product info: "RICOH", "Bay
    Controller"

    $ cardctl ident
    Socket 0:
      product info: "RICOH", "Bay Controller"
      manfid: 0x0000, 0x0000
      function: 254 ((null))
    Socket 1:
      no product info available

    $ cardctl status
    Socket 0:
      3.3V 16-bit PC Card
      function 0: [ready]
    Socket 1:
      no card

    Then I have tried to fool cardmgr, and I added this in /etc/pcmcia/config :

    card "Sony Memory Stick"
      manfid 0x0000, 0x0000
      bind "ide-cs"

    Then, if I restart cardmgr, I get a little bit further, but not much... :

    $ /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
    Shutting down PCMCIA services: done.
    Starting PCMCIA services: using yenta_socket instead of i82365
    cardmgr[4952]: watching 2 sockets
    done.

    I insert the card, and :

    etamine:/home/franck# tail -f /var/log/daemon.log
    Jun 29 18:20:25 etamine cardmgr[4953]: socket 0: Sony Memory Stick
    Jun 29 18:20:25 etamine cardmgr[4953]: executing: 'modprobe ide-cs'
    Jun 29 18:20:25 etamine cardmgr[4953]: get dev info on socket 0 failed:
    No such device

    This is my first try with pcmcia, and I must admit that after reading
    the howto and trying my best, I lost... Has anyone a clue on that ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Franck
