Yes , Misunderstood.

     I am talking about the additional cdrom(s) that may be on the system

I agree the burners have been installed under scsi-ide and work well
However many people still have cdrom's or dvd's that they want to record
from and
these are not set up as scsi-ide and therefor not recognised from the
burning programs
