Then why do you want to use ide-scsi emulation? The kernel and the
userspace programs like cdrecord and cdrdao should be new enough to use
the writer without the emulation. I use my writer with the ide-cd
driver and k3b. All I had to do was to change ownership for /dev/hdc
and /dev/hdd from root.disk to root.cdrom.
