This certainly should work. I have been running RedHat 2.1 with my CD-ROM 
(Also a Sony CDU55E) on hdc, and Western Digital drives on hba and hdb.
The controller card should have little to do with it since it simply enables
addressing of the real conroller in the drive. The RedHat release should also
be irrelavent as both releases use the 1.2.13 kernel.
