A lot of the early CDROM drives used a proprietary interface
(Panasonic, Sony, and others) and the absence of slave/master
jumpers is almost a surefire indication that this is one. The other
is the fact that your PC won't boot when it is attached to your IDE
interface. I recently picked up a Reveal sound card that has 3
different CDROM interface connectors labeled Panasonic, Sony and
IDE. I haven't tried this card yet so I don't know if it works. I
got it dumpster diving behind the local PC shop and I haven't even
had any time to try and find some documentation and software for it
on the net. Maybe you can find something like this.
