That strongly depends on what type of interface is used by the PCMCIA card. By definition a complete CD writer will not fit into a PCMCIA slot ;) So an interface is in use. There are several adapter cards for PCMCIA. I for example have a PCMCIA SCSI card which would attach to a pretty standard SCSI CD writer. This again should then work if the PCMCIA SCSI card is supported (as a side note: there are several PCMCIA SCSI cards supported by the pcmcia-cs package). If the card implements another interface you might be lucky. So on the bottomline you will have to check what type of interface your PCMCIA CD writer uses and if _this_ is supported.
