That should be sr0 (ie., sr and a numeric 0). When using SCSI 
emulation on a IDE device, the CD Writer should be automatically 
mapped to sr0 (instead of hdc, hdd, etc0.

You can see this in your boot process:

dmesg | more

And read the messages that the kernel kicks out, while booting. One 
of them should mention your CD-RW.

I use their CrossOver Plugin, to use Windows IE browser plugins under 
Linux; works well. So their full Office CrossOver should also be a 
Good Thing.
