I'm having some troubles with this unit, I'm hoping someone else has had the same troubles and knows the simple fix.
here is my situation...
I have a a1200 and have installed the 4xeide controller in os3.1 with success. the cdrom drive is on the secondary port and everything works great. after that I have installed OS 3.9 over 3.1 from the cd and the installation goes without a problem. when the system reboots with os3.9 for the first time the cdrom is gone.
I can run the 4xeide instllation program under 3.9 and it finds my cdrom drive. but after powering down the system and rebooting still no success.
the lines in my startup-sequence that refer to the 4xeide driver are exactly the same as my os3.1 insatll. all the files are in the same place.
my devs:dosdrivers has a cd2 in it
I can go into shell and type "cd cd2:". It doesn't give me any errors but it also doesn't switch to the drive. if I type "cd cd0:" it gives me an error letting me know that the volume is not present.
thanks for any ideas you may have.

Check to see if the CD2 file in devs:Dosdriver points to a certain device, as the device driver must be in devs:.
Just a tip, the CD command is no longer needed. CD2: will do just fine -)
