Do I read last "used" as "used to use"?

Do you get something like:
$ ls /sys/bus/ide/devices/
0.0 1.0 1.1
The first appears to be my hard disk. The two others (1.X) my
optical drives (a cd writer and a dvd writer). I'm using them
with the "new" ide-cd driver (and not with the old ide-scsi
emulation).

So if the actual devices aren't being created, the solution is
elsewhere.
