The device you want is probably /dev/acd0a or /dev/acd0c.  man cdcontrol.

cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0a

Specifies the device /dev/acd0a should be used.

Same thing.  matcd, I believe, is a Matsushita (proprietary) CD-ROM.
Configure the CD player to use /dev/acd0a or acd0c.

Not if you can mount and access ISO9660 data CDs on /dev/acd0*. By
default, ATAPI CD support is included in the GENERIC kernel.  So, unless
you explicitly disabled it, it should still be there.
