I have just done the same thing, with (nearly) the same results 
[except disks in neither drive were recognized].  Upon further 
review, Pioneer's installation instructions state that the new drive 
is shipped with jumper cable in Master position. I presume the 
original SuperDrive which came with the MDD is also set at Master. I 
changed the new SuperDrive to Cable Select (position 3); now both 
drives are recognized and the doors open in the correct order.
