In linux kernel since version 2.6.20 (release Date: 2007-02-04)
WARNING: ide-scsi is no longer needed for cd writing applications!
The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide-cd, which eliminates
the need for ide-scsi + the entire scsi stack just for writing a
cd. The new method is more efficient in every way.
This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices,
and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver instead of a native
ATAPI driver.
If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled
into the kernel, the native support will be used.
