My thanks to those who have replied so far; however, I seem to have asked the wrong questions. I already know that IDE-SCSI is required to make CD-R burners work: I have two of them at home. ;-)
I'm more interested in things that the IDE CD driver can do that IDE-SCSI + SCSI-CDROM can't. I am tempted to create a kernel binary, for possible distribution to N people on CD, that contains the IDE-SCSI emulation layer and SCSI CD-ROM support _instead of_ IDE-CDROM support. This makes IDE CD-R drivers work, among other things.
Is this a good idea? So far the only problem I've heard about is that CD changers don't work through the IDE-SCSI layer (I used to have one of those, too, but unfortunately I don't any more). Is there some equivalent SCSI command that can be sent to such drivers through the IDE-SCSI layer?
