I think, that your CD drive has IDE interface.
Don't look at brand name. If you plug this drive directly to 
motherboard it must be IDE.
Try mount /cdrom.
If you have in fstab line /dev/wcd cd9660 ro noauto 0 0 (if I 
rebember) it should mount your drive.
If not try mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd  /cdrom.
