I have this drive and had a similar problem with linux using a ISA sound
blaster card with the IDE interface.

The problem I had was that linux will NOT autodetect an IDE device on an
interface if it is configured as a slave and there is no master.

So if this is so, either configure the drive as master or boot linux
with the lilo parameter 'hdd=cdrom' (assuming the IDE I/F is at the
ide secondary address)

I've heard somewhere that windows 95 has problems with the CD if
configured as master, I don't know if this is true.
