IDE-SCSI, CD-RW, ZIP drive weirdness
I have an ATAPI CD-RW installed as the second slave (/dev/hdd).
According to the documentation I've read, to use the CD-RW in Linux, I
have to use IDE-SCSI (kernel) and have 'hdd=scsi' in the boot parameters.
I've done this, and I have no problems using the drive, but I have
discovered somthing... odd.
I have an ATAPI ZIP-100 on /dev/hdb (first slave). I am not telling the
kernel to use IDE-SCSI for it (boot parameters), yet IDE-SCSI takes
control of the ZIP-100.
And, the ZIP-100 works great under the IDE-SCSI driver. (Since I run
DevFS, it's interesting to note that this gets rid of any problems I've
had and read about when using the ZIP-100 and DevFs).
My only beef is that I don't believe I configured Linux to do this
(although it was a pleasent surprise), and am wondering if this is a bug
of some kind to be reported. (Or, if this is a little unknown
workaround for ZIP drives & DevFS).
