The first time the machine is turned on after connecting the 
drives, it finds them ok.  Unfortunately, I haven't left it on
more than 30 seconds after this (not even long enough to boot), so I
don't know how long everything is ok.  But, the second and all
subsequent times, the card comes up and says something like
"interrupts don't work!"  I updated the bios today. (had trouble
getting the machine's floppy drive to work and wanted to make
sure I could save the previous bios just in case!  So, I had to
update the bios in *my* machine.) But haven't hooked it back up
before discovering the difference in drives.

BTW, in case anyone is wondering, the LVD drive is a seagate,
18GB drive, model number ST118273LW (graciously donated by RTI).

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little 
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin 

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
