Major 0?
Maybe these have mislead you..from isp16.c source:
#define ISP16_VERSION_MAJOR 0
#define ISP16_VERSION_MINOR 6
^^^^^^^
Wrong ones i guess :)

AFAIK, isp16.c enables the cdrom port on your soundblaster card, and
sjcd.c manages the drive(i could be dead wrong here).
/dev/sjcd (should have major 18) is the right device i guess..
Do you have the drivers in the main kernel image or as modules? If they
are in modules, try loading the isp16.o first, then sjcd.o..
The last resort is to ask the maintainer or whoever was the last
patching the driver(s).
BTW, when asking for help on mail list, always leave the mail-list
address in Cc field..might get some more brainpower 8)
Best luck.
