: ATAPI CDROM drives are connected to your computer the same way as hard
: disks.  In fact linux uses the same device files for CD-ROMS and hard
: disks.  

True, but ide hard disk support is a subset of ide cd-rom support, and not
every kernel that supports ide hard disks also supports ide cd-roms.  If
you installed a precompiled kernel, when you apply James' advice, also
check which kernel you installed.  They did something a bit weird in that
collection: you _may_ have to install a kernel with support for a Mitsumi
cd-rom, to get plain ide cd-rom support.
