I tried the suggestion Shyamal, but nothing seemed to change.

I have done some more looking around and have found that
/etc/pcmcia/config contains

: card "Ninja ATA"
:   version " ", "NinjaATA-"
:   bind "ide_cs"

which explains why I keep seeing "ide_cs" when I insert the
card for the Sony PCGA-CD51 CD-ROM drive.

If I do /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart, I see

: cardmgr[990]: executing: 'modprobe -r ide_cs'
: cardmgr[990]: exiting
: kernel: unloading PCMCIA Card Services
: kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.34

: cardmgr[1055]: starting, version is 3.1.33
: cardmgr[1055]: watching 1 sockets
: cardmgr[1055]: Card Services release does not match

And then when I insert the card:

: kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean.
: cardmgr[990]: socket 0: Ninja ATA
: cardmgr[990]: executing: 'modprobe ide_cs'
: cardmgr[990]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

As I said nothing changes if I follow the suggestions of Shyamal.

Other suggestions, please?
