Unfortunately I think it is the old interface card that is the problem.
I have a Pinnacle Micro single speed cdrom which uses the same 8 bit
interface as yours. (no upper interrupts, dma on 1 or 3). I've never
gotten it to work quite right with FreeBSD. It constantly spews
forth read errors, timeout errors, and everything else. Not to mention
it is extremely slow compared to using it under dos. And now I just
discovered a couple of days ago that Win95 doesn't much like it either.
Neither does Linux. So I'm looking to get a new one soon, probably
SCSI. BTW, it is identified by the probe as LU002.
