Dave: Since Drive setup detects the CDrom OK, but the CDrom doesn't mount, I suspect you don't have a CDrom driver to support that CDrom drive.
I also have a a PB 520 and two non Apple (NEC and Toshiba) external CDrom drives. The CDrom drivers from, MacOS 7.6 support many non Apple CDrom drives, also the drivers I got with my NEC external CDrom drive. I'll attach by separate Email the CDrom drivers I use for my non Apple CDrom drives. They still work on S9.1. I also recommend you try SCSI Probe and MT-Everything (see www. versiontracker.com) for SCSI mounting.
