Hrm, you mention that you reloaded OS 9. Perhaps the "Apple CD/DVD Driver" Extension is missing?
extension is there and enabled
I just installed a SCSI CD drive and it mounts just fine. Still no action on the IDE bus.
the new hard drive is a Quantum with the same jumper arrangement as the original Quantum, so I set them the same.

Just to rule it out I tried another CD drive, (completely not expecting it to work since the machine would boot from the cd just wouldn't mount.) and guess what... Problem Solved
