Does it work without SCSI emulation?Yes, it seemed to work usually. I take the precaution of setting a very low speed, just in case.
<deletia...> My experience, FWIW, Simply put: In kernel 2.4, ide-scsi module, we got used to the scsi-emulation concept. Whereas,In kernel 2.6, we were (somewhat confusingly, IMO) told the above, i.e.: "SCSI emulation is not required in v2.6.".
IMHO this _should_ have said something along the lines of:"SCSI emulation is now built-in, in v2.6 'ide-cd' [compiled-in or as a module], so 'ide-scsi' is NO LONGER REQUIRED to achieve the _still_ _necessary_ SCSI emulation."
SOooooo,In xcdroast running as root, [you CAN figure out how.] use the "0,0,0" device, and _NOT_ the "ATAPI:0.0.0" device. Substitute your own "bus,id,lun" numbers to suit your box. I can burn dvd-r and cdr/rw fine.
Nuff~sed? HTH
