The card itself decodes 10 bits of address space. The PCMCIA bridge decodes all 16 bits, so the card will never see accesses to aliases like 0x250-0x25f if the bridge was configured for 0xa50-0xa5f. If your power management device is particularly goofy and only decodes 10 bits of address, then yes, you would need to also exclude all aliases of 0x250-0x25f. There is no interface for directly forcing the IO port range for a card. I decided to not provide such an option because it should never be needed and I expected it to be generally misused. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to assume that your kernel has SCSI CD-ROM support built in. At least, check your /lib/modules/*/scsi directory to see if there is an sr_mod module. If so, try loading that before inserting your card. -- Dave |
