That's exactly why I do it. I think it depends on the age of the
CD-ROM. My CD-ROM is a 44-speed from when 44-speed drives were quite
new and the box I was putting it in was a 486. It uses the mmc2
revision of SCSI emulation. I've tried a couple of other drives which
use the later mmc3 and they rip OK as ide-scsi. So maybe this is the
cause, although I haven't been able to try any other mmc2 drives to
confirm it.
