What sort of driver software are you using? Third party drives often need their own device drivers.
I used to have a 3X NEC, and it worked fine with FWB CD-ROM Toolkit 2.0. If you can purchase a copy of that, you'll likely be in luck with the NEC and for that matter any non-Apple CD-ROM. Otherwise, you'll need NEC's software.
Those old NEC drives are great, I always regret getting rid of mine. Not sure what yours is like, but I could use mine as a standalone CD player as long as there were speakers hooked up to it.
