I have a 560 thinkpad with a sony discman cd-rom using a using a scsi II 
card from adaptec (1460A). I have tried to install Red Hat 7.1 by creating 
both a boot.img disc and a pcmcia.img disc and a pcmciaadd.img disc, but 
to no avail. I simply cannot get the red hat installation to load 
necessary drivers and recognize my cd-rom. Since I can't install anything 
I don't know how to go about trying to make the linux dist. recognize my 
cd-rom. Does anyone know what I should do? From what I have found out 
through the internet the adaptec 1460A should work with linux.

Still having hope
