I can only speak for myself, of course.
I have a Ricoh MP7040A (IDE). I opened the case of my computer, connected the 
drive to the IDE cable, connected it to the power supply and to my soundcard 
(using the audio cable that came with the drive).
I then booted my PC, which instantly recognised the drive, then Win98 was 
loaded, recognised the drive as well. I checked if the audio was working by 
playing an audio CD in the drive. It worked. Then I installed Nero from the CD 
that came with the drive, and I was burning away, in under 15 minutes. No 
problems at all. After I found that it all worked, I closed the case of my PC. 
It couldn't have been easier for me.
