I've been reading this with a lot of interest as i'm a bout to receive a nice new AOpen ATAPI CD-RW. there seems to be conflicting info going around. Can SCSI emulation be done with modules or does it require a re-compile? when stupid people like me are asking (you can tell because our questions are like this one!) its safe to assume we are running a stock kernel.
