The CD-ROM brand shouldn't matter.
Can you look at the output of "dmesg" and see what hardware the kernel
detects? Type Alt-F2, press Enter, then type "dmesg | more" and look
at what gets printed for the SCSI cards getting detected. Make sure
you're not loading the wrong modules.

Just a few years ago you could say the same about any computer that
would fit on a desk. (I've still got that ZX81 - broken - in the
bottom of a drawer.)
OTOH, an AS/400 would fit on a desk, but it wouldn't leave much space.
