Quite true.

These cards in particular, and most other cards in general, need nothing else 
in order to function within the limitations specified in the manual, namely 
only hard drives are supported.

I have an Apple CD-ROM on the card and using the Apple driver it is seen and

CD-ROMs are usually not a problem, although they are specifically NOT 
supported.

Not sure how well the card supports CDRWs if at all but you may need a 
different driver (FWB, Intech, Toast).

Toast won't work as the device reports itself to be an EIDE CD-R/W, but Toast 
detects that it is on a (simulated) SCSI bus.


Incidentally, some (EIDE) removable media drives will work when connected 
through such a card.
