 AZTECH driver work with these drives. 
 
 Unfortunately I do not have any of these drives available, so I couldn't test
-it myself. But I've got reports, that it works with ORCHID CDS3110 and Game-
-Wave32 sound cards and also with WEARNES CDD110 and Conrad TXC in some different
-combinations. In some installations, it seems necessary to initialize the drive 
+it myself. In some installations, it seems necessary to initialize the drive 
 with the DOS driver before (especially if combined with a sound card) and then 
 do a warm boot (CTRL-ALT-RESET) or start Linux from DOS, e.g. with 'loadlin'.

 Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is difficult to develop for hardware, 
 which you don't have available for testing. So if you like, please help us.
 
+If you do have a CyCDROM CR520ie thanks to Hilmar Berger's help your chances
+are good, that it will work with aztcd. The CR520ie is sold as an IDE-drive
+and really is connected to the IDE interface (primary at 0x1F0 or secondary
+at 0x170, configured as slave, not as master). Nevertheless it is not ATAPI
+compatible but still uses Aztech's command codes.
