The first one I can remember was the Mitsumi CRMC-LU005S single speed drive, which was the one I had. It had its own card because it was non-IDE despite the fact that the cable and plug looked exactly like IDE. They did use a proprietary standard. They definitely worked on an 80286, so I think we can conclude that CDROMs did not require an 80386. I can remember some early Shareware CD's with stuff I couldn't use because I only had a 80286. DJGPP springs to mind.
I remember seeing an XT with an external CD-ROM drive at a library 30 years ago.
