This information is unfortunately *WRONG*. The base 2.6 ide-cd driver is vastly inferior to ide-scsi. The ide-scsi layer knows about proper error reporting, end of media and other things that ide-cd does not.
The -ac ide-cd knows some of the stuff that ide-cd needs to and works with various drive/disk combinations the base code doesn't but ide-scsi still handles CD's better.
