If this is similar to the CD I first had (panasonic style)
it won't work off your IDE controller. Your best bet is to
go get a generic IDE CDROM and a generic IDE hard drive
controller (since your computer appears to only have
support for a single IDE channel.)
Although this procedure brings up some "problems" of it's
own, at least you are pretty much guaranteed to be able to
get the CDROM working! Generic IDE CDROMs can be had for as
little as about $30(US) Or you could go for a SCSI CD and a
cheap SCSI card.
