For finding out, just about everything, the kernel supports, or
doesn't. Try grep -i ??? /usr/src/linux/Doc*/*
which, after replacing ??? with ide-scsi, for the 2.2.9 kernel gives
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/scsi-generic.txt:emulated one (eg
ide-scsi device driver). A value of 1 means emulated
YMMV for the 2.036 Kernel. I don't recall it being there, but....
