I can't help you with using this drive on any specific machine, but there
is a "feature" you may want to know about in advance. 

The Phillips / LMSI CD-ROM drives use a different disk carrier than
*anybody* else.  You won't be able to exchange disks with someone
who uses the Sony type carrier that the rest of the CD-ROM world
uses.

Beware!
