It is difficult to know without seeing how the drive comes on line.
Joerg has done some work with MO drives.  If it comes on line as a type
0 (direct: regular disk drive) you may be up and running right away.  If
it comes on line as "optical memory" you'll have some work to do, though
I'll be sending Joerg a patch to allow you to bring an optical memory
on line as a disk at the end of this week.

In any case you'll probably have some tweeking to do.
