What's wrong with ide-scsi? I use it on every system I have. Just
say "no" to the IDE cdrom driver.
The ide-scsi emulation layer makes all these packages work much
better. cdrecord only works on scsi devices and at the end of the
day it just makes everything a little nicer. Solaris X86 accesses
all its ide devices through a scsi emulation layer.
So there's even precedent.

You goooo, boyeeeee!
Actually, what I think caused you to say that was that so many
packages for CDROM manipulation only work on scsi devices, and some
of those packages have "drivers," not the same as kernel drivers,
which will handle certain other types of CDROM drives not handled by
SCSI ioctl's. Cdrecord certainly does. But that these packages
don't have generic IDE CDROM drivers. Yeah, that's what you meant.
