Problem: I did that once (around Kernel 2.4.12, I believe) and it had NO
effect at all. There were still 7 SCSI-CD-Roms answering the same ID,
showing up as /dev/scd0..6.
I have not tried it for Kernel 2.4.18 yet, though.
We DO need the SCSI emulation in any case, because otherwise
IDE-CDwriters don't work too well.
