Are you sure about this?

In my opinion this is not so - you will be able to use a real SCSI CD-ROM in the way you describe, but ATAPI drives might not work properly without IDE-Fix.

At least the last time I tried to get the CD-ROM working from IDE on a 3.1 system, it wasn't quite as easy as moving the dosdriver and setting the unit.. I seem to remember I needed to install IDE-Fix and then it started going.

Anyway, what you need to know about the A4000 is that it has a very short 5.25" bay so get hold of a short CD drive or you won't be able to fit it inside

This is a good drive for the A4000, I'm waiting for one to be delivered:

So you used scsi.device and the CD0: DOS driver and it just worked???  Hmm weird.  The only way I got a IDE CD-ROM to work was atari.device.

Yes.  Are we talking about Amigas?  :-D

What CD-ROM mechanism did you use and what kickstart do you have?
