There were lots of different flavours of CD-ROM on the Soundblaster,
you'd need to be more specific as to the Soundblaster and CD-ROM type
(there's a code on the corner of the Soundblaster card which you can
use to identify the model on the Creative website. The Plan 9 2nd
Edition had support for some of those cards, but not all; the drivers
were never updated and are not included in the current release.
As Russ says, ATAPI controllers and drives can be had for pracatically
nothing.
