It probably will, given appropriate persuasion.

You need a driver that'll work with this CD-ROM player.  The only Apple
driver that will even atttempt to run a non-Apple CD player is the one
that comes with System 7.6 (not 7.6.1).

might help.

CD-ROM Toolkit. You need a driver for it, the standard Apple CD-ROM driver
obviously doesn't work.

Sure, virtually every clone machine for a start.

The Apple CD drivers don't work on non-apple drives, or at least they
didn't before, I think in 8.5 there may be 3rd part support but I'm not
entirely sure.  I've added uk.comp.sys.mac, hopefully someone there has
tried it.  Anyway if not then CD ROM Toolkit is the answer, www.fwb.com.

The Apple CD-ROM driver that comes with System 7.6 (not 7.6.1) will try
and run non Apple CD-ROM drives.   I suspect this was a slip-up on
Apple's part.
