I also have access to the Linux device driver for the Mitsumi, and noticed that some of the for loops which read from the device have much larger loop numbers (like 1000000) instead of 1000.  I made a few changes and the probe now successfully finds the device.

Only now I can't get it to mount the device.  I used:
mount -r -t isofs /dev/mcd0a /mnt

and Mount reports:

>mount: Invalid Argument

My first guess is that my kernal is not including the right stuff????
