It might help to know more about your setup, as in, what IDE interface do you have in there? If the cable's connected directly to the internal port, and you already have a hard drive in there, you have to be careful that the cable's not too long, and that the internal hard drive supports a slave drive. If you have some sort of buffered interface, you have to have either a patched scsi.device or a separate device for the interface for using with the CD mountlist...

Hmmm... I see... Well, it could be down to the interface of the CD drive putting more of a strain on the bus than the hard drive you got to work, and not showing up as a result. What you could do is make a boot floppy with the demo of IDEFix on it, disconnect the hard drive to just leave the CD drive attached, and see if the device snooper can find it then. Even though other drives worked, there's no guarantee that this drive plays nice with that hard drive, or isn't straining the bus...
