The program for installing modules which is used during installation of
Debian is /usr/sbin/modconf. You can start it as root whenever You want.
If You select mcd or mcdx You are asked if you want to supply some
options. There You can try to add 0x360,11. I would suggest to use mcdx.
Using mcdx instead of mcd I don't have to add any options.

Try to put a line like
/dev/mcdx /cdrom iso9660 ro,user
in your /etc/fstab. "user" means that every user can (un)mount the CD.
Hope this will be of same help. (I am using a machine with this
Mitsumi-Drive very seldom. Therfore I'm not sure.)
