I know its a ball ache but just get a cheap JAE connector(will need power i.e floppy) for your cdrom.
I make out the cdrom its 50 pin optical connection so JAE will be fine, then just sort an suitable cable to connect both devces, just a thought bud.
That cable you made is a nice work of art by the way :)
*I tried a normal IDE cable on the port CDrom/master, cf/slave and I could not get it to recognise the Cdrom, just hung, but works on my idefix adapter, the cdrom seems the problem with its in built master/slave selection as a guess it dont like our miggy`s :(

This is working now Supaduper, it just doesn't mount during start up, I assume its because its trying to mount too soon in the start up procedure.

The cd drive won't automount anymore, so I just added a button to Dopus to mount it when I need it.
I wanted to attach some thermometers to the CPU and PSU heatsinks, so I could monitor those temperatures with the case closed, but haven't done that yet.
