Re: Sony PCI Memory Stick Reader



Well, neither /dev/hdc1 nor /dev/sda1 works on my machine. Furthermore,
the fact is that it's a separate flash memory adapter, not another PCI
controller, that shows up in lspci:

00:0d.0 FLASH memory: Sony Corporation Memory Stick Controller (rev 01)

Below are some relevant parts from dmesg. I'm particularly intrigued by
this line:

    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfcb8-0xfcbf, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio

but there's no sign of ide1 existing after boot:

simmel:/proc/ide# ls -l

-r--r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jan 16 13:27 piix


Any advice remains welcome.
