All IDE CDROMs should work fine. Riva TNT is supported , to 
my knowledge. Yamaha OPL ISA cards have been troublesome
to me - there are many variants of the chip , it seems. Some
are autodetected and work beautifully, others need some 
hard work - tweaking setting , isapnp etc. I had wierd probs
with upgrade from RH5.2 to 6.0 breaking yamaha card support.

I am now using Jaton 4DWave PCI card , based on the 
Trident chipset. It works beautifully with ALSA drivers,
but you need timidity for midi. Plus it is PCI too , and just
around Rs700.
