This is an excerpt from the *bsd faq files:
8.11 CD-ROMs
The Sony Multispin drives work well for Charles Hannum using NetBSD
and an SCSI controller.
Many folks have announced that they had problems with Mitsumi
CD-ROM drives. It seems that there are nearly as many releases
of the firmware as there were drives sold. Many of the firmware
versions were incompatible with each other. A generic Mitsumi
driver will be a hard act to accomplish, if it is possible at all.

I want to know has anyone gotten their mitsumi cd rom drive to work?
If so, could you please assist me in getting a kernel that will let
me use it? Many thanks. I will be checking back to see if anyone
bothers to reply to this.
