This is the original Matsushita CR-506 that came with the J700. I've been 
able to
boot from CD, so I know the CDROM drive is OK, and the Apple system profiler 
shows
me the drive, but doesn't recognize that there is media in the drive.

I did a clean universal MacOS 9.1 install, so I haven't installed any extra
extensions or anything.

Anyone know what I need to do to make this system recognize my CD-ROM drive?

Yes, your CD drivers got updated with the new system and the new drivers do 
not recognize your CDROM because it is a non-apple CD/ROM.  Two solutions are:

1.  Upgrade your drivers with FWD CD/ROM Toolkit which is expensive.
2.  Use the CD drivers from Mac OS 7.6 vers. 5.3.1.  I have used these 
drivers from OS 7.6 through 9.1 without a hitch.  If you need them, contact 
me offline and I'll send them to you.
