	I have a similar problem. I went and bought a 16 bit SB and 6x CD rom
	but LINUX cannot recognise the CD. It is a ATAPI interface and
	works fine under dos, but Linux cannot recognise it. I am using
	Slackware 3.0 with kernel 1.2.18 (i think). It is the relase on the
	LUG/NUt CD.
	I have tried to install the patches for the NEC CDR-260 CD but they
	fail to install and also the kernel wont compile.

	Any help about the  CD would be greatly apreciated, I am not
	to worried about compileing the kernel as that is only a minor 
	problem with my setup.

	many Thanx John

	PS the cd is a Creative CD-260
