I have determined the drive has been damaged. Don't know why it would still
work as a normal CD-rom under the name Mitshita, but it does. I am wondering
if there would be a way to re-initialize the firmware so that the computer
recognizes it under the correct identification. I tried a firmware update I
found on the internet, but it didn't make any difference.
