HiI have a compact flash card in a PCMCIA adapter. If I insert before booting, it is detected just fine, however, sound does not work. If I boot without the PCMCIA adapter sound works fine. My questions is - how do I make the PCMCIA card writable for user and still be able to use it with windows XP (to transfer files, etc)?
Thanks so much for your help!!!

My guess is that your pcmcia and sound share the same irq and conflict - or something along those lines. Check if you can change them in your BIOS.I haven't used pcmcia nor cflash cards - so I can't help you there. All I can say is you should probably use vfat/fat32, or fat16

Hi MDG!I'm not sure that I understand your question. I use a PCMCIA/CF combination that i boot with two floppys (first boot floppy and then the PCMCIA-drivers) and it works just fine the sound also. In emelfm the CF-card shows up as hde1. If you want to copy something on it just mount it in emelfm as root. In Windows XP it just shows up as a removable drive. If you could be more specific about the problem I might help you.
Have fun out there,

I guess I am looking for the commands to make the compact flash readible/writable in Linux when inserting the card after booting. Right now it just shows root access.I was wanting to be able to access music and files stored on thie compact flash from the command line.
Thanks to all for your great help!
