I *didn't* use ide-scsi. I used ATAPI and I have to agree with Linus,
that it is sane to use ATAPI, instead of wrapping things up.
Nevertheless, there are some issues left, which need further investigation.

a) The as scheduler in 2.6-test9-mm2 behaves not as nicely as in mm1.
(see other messeages in thread)

b) The writing or reading issue mentioned above. It is a bit hard to
find out, whether cdrecord actually *writes* an incomplete image
(without using -pad), ie. throwing away the last 4096 bytes, which
*only* happens in non-TAO mode. The programme CDRDAO shows the same
behaviour. Strange enough reading this DAO written image out with my
DVD-ROM makes this (missing?) 4096 bytes reappear... Well, maybe I
should patch the image and put some other bytes instead of the 00s at
the end to see, whether it is a write issue, a read issue of the writer
or a read issue of the reader. Anyway, it doesn't sound right to me,
what is happening at the moment...

c) That scsi gets selected when using usbfs seams to be some sort of
wrapper being used...(just guessing without actually knowing the code).
WOuld be nice if a note in the kernel menuconfig or alike would be left
so that one doesn't have to wonder... But IIRC usbfs will be dropped anyway.
