I don't think that CR-563-B are IDE device

I own a CR-562-B, it's *not* an IDE device. It also has 4 jumpers setting
that are labeled id0 id1 id2 id3. They're used when you want to plug more
than one CD to the same interface (aka what you do with scsi devices). My
driver came with a lasermate interface but work fine with a Mozart soundcard
(Opti Mad16 or Mad16Pro would be fine too)

This is probably due to the fact that your CD-ROM driver is not an IDE 
device.
