That is strange. I definitely don't see such problems. I do such
thing several times. I try to avoid booting my laptop and just suspend
and resume it. So I have several cards come and go over one boot cycle.
Any generic PCMCIA IDE based thing should work. I might stop using an
external CDRW things once combo DVD & CDRW become more available/cheaper.
Also internal bits are harder to share.
