Macbook Pro Early 2008 - Optical Drive not recognized in Monterey, patcher 1.50

Hello, I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro. The optical drive powers on and accepts discs but I am unable to mount them or eject the disc since it is not recognized in the OS. I patched the system again using version 1.50 and noticed that there is a AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext listed as being inserted. However, upon reboot, it still doesn't work. I thought the optical drives of this era were ATA? Please advise. Thanks!
