I have a MATSHITA CW-7502 on an Adaptec AHA2940, on /dev/scd0, with the
same device numbers as yours (11,0).  I found it by doing

  for z in /dev/*cd* ; do mount -t iso9660 $z /mnt/cdrom ; done

This was a desperate move after running into a couple of brick walls.  I
figured that one of those devices should work!

Did you try /dev/scd0?
