I use a Mitsumi FX600 in my RiscPC and it works without any problems under 
RiscOS and RiscBSD too.
But: Only few ATAPI CD-ROMs work with the RiscPC because nearly every producer 
of ATAPI CDROMs have their own understanding of what ATAPI means :(
If you can get a FX600 somewhere, take it otherwise wait for a SCSI drive.

As long as no DMA SCSI works, it might be faster :)
