Re: Auto Detect PCMCIA SCSI in Multia?

[Huisman G <gert cs vu nl>]

Yes autodetection and hot-swapping works. You should have the "cardmgrd" 
deamon running and avoid any IRQ conflicts.  

I use an "IBM" PCMCIA SCSI adapter that works OK (I once bought it,
because it was so dirt cheap). To my surprise it worked out of the
box. I just hooked my externel scsi cdrom-player to it and plugged it 
into a running UDB. The UDB responded whith a beep and my cdrom-player
was available.  It works great, and it's worth the effort to resolve
the IRQ conflict.
