You neglect to mention the dos messages as you boot. Prior to getting the
command prompt you should get an acknowledgement that dos was able to
recognize and assign a drive letter. If you are not getting that, try using
a generic driver.

I have no info as to what to use as an identification

will know the correct identification symbol for the LiteOn model,
noted in my posting.

If you mean the string to use where you currently use "PLEX0001", I
thought that was aribitrary, that you could use anything as long as it
agreed in both autoexec.bat and config.sys.

Maybe SYMCD.SYS isn't compatible with the Lite-On?

Maybe you don't have enough low memory to load the driver. Try
installing HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE and loading the CD driver like this
(although I think it will usually load high on its own if it can):

LOADHIGH DEVICE=A:\SYMCD.SYS /D:PLEX0001
