I am having trouble mounting my Sony CDU-31a drive in Linux.  The setup
program that came on the installation CD was unable to mount it.

I have the CD drive plugged into a PAS 16 (no scsi).  When I plugged the drive
into the standard Sony interface card (not thru the sound card), the setup
program was able to access the drive.

I am not very familiar with the mount command, thus I can't figure out
how to mount the drive outside of the setup program.

I no longer have the standard interface card, so the drive is once again
plugged into the sound card.  I would like to be able to access it while
running Linux.

Does anybody have any suggestions?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
