re cdrw
You can put the cdrw drive as the master on the
secondary channel, and (if you want) put the old cd
rom drive as the slave. However unless you want to
copy cd's there is really no reason to even keep your
old cd rom drive, just use the cdrw as your cd rom
drive, most of them are as fast enough in read.
You will need to re-compile your kernel to include
scsi emulation. You will remove ide cd rom support
from the kernel (no fooling!). You now access the cd
rom drives as if they were scsi drives (ie /dev/scd0 )
because the scsi emulation replaces the ide cd rom
driver. This is necessary because cdrecord ONLY works
with scsi protocol. (Don't rasie the bridge, lower
the river!)
