Well here is a stab in the dark for you. I have 2 cdar504's on my bbs 
they are the ATari cd_roms. they have a chinon engine in them with a 
Chinion "ASCI" -"Atari Small Computer Interface" adaptor in them.
 
My guess is yes you could them to work. Atari has released to its developers 
and with its sales of the cdar504's a program called MetaDos. I am sorry 
to say Meta_dos is not Public Domain so I can not post it to the net 
for you.  My guess is you would have to hack the BIOS driver to suit 
your cd_rom as well. 
 
Contact your local Atari rep or company and ask if you obtain a copy 
of Meta_dos. 
 
You should be able to use your "Supra" interface / ICD interface to 
drive it.
 
Let me know how you get on.
 
Jon Clarke.
