What are the issues involved in using a non-Apple CD ROM drive with A/UX?

If I have a third-party drive, what to I need to have to use the A/UX 2.0.1
CD ROM disk from Apple?

I've heard that people in this group have successfully used the CD Porta
Drive (from CD Technologies) with A/UX. I called the company, and they
told me that they do not have a driver for A/UX. If I have a Porta Drive,
what do I need to do? Where can I get proper drivers? Do I even need a
different driver? If so, do these drivers survive A/UX upgrades well?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
