It looks like it. If I understand correctly, your CDrom is connected to
an ide interface? Then you need to use ide/atapi cdrom drivers. The
mitsumi drivers are for older drives that used an interface specific to
mitsumi. Any recent cdrom drives will be either ide/atapi or scsi, even
if they are manufactured by mitsumi.
