There are sometimes issues when using ide-scsi on non-burners. I have had some problems, it seems that I can't use supermount on my writer if I use ide-scsi on my dvd/cdrom, so I don't think ide-scsi should be the default for CDROMs/DVDs when a writer is detected (although we might want more opinions on this). However, I requested that it be an option be added to MCC to be able to switch CD-ROMs to ide-scsi, and Pixel apparently did add it, I haven't had a chance to test it yet (CD-ROM drive on this machine is stuffed, so ~ it's disconnected). Please test this if you can. Anyway, all that is needed (AFAICR) is to add 'hdX=ide-scsi' to lilo.conf, run lilo, reboot.
