They have to be, otherwise they wouldn't work at all, even under
windoze ;) There is no such thing as an 'Integrated Drive Electronics/
AT-Attachment' CD-RW without being SCSI emulated, any OS. Lilo(conf)
should have/needs 'ide-scsi' on the kernel parameter append line, eg,
somethin like append=" devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi" and then you
should see somethin like ...
$ cd /dev
dev$ ll scd*
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31 Oct 19 10:38 scd0 ->
scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0/cd
Another check is to run 'cdrecord -scanbus' which for my burner as
slave on second ide (ide1, hdd) returns
scsibus0:
|
0,3,0 3) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-W8432T' '1.09' Removable CD-ROM
See the relationship bus 0, target 3, lun 0 ... and scd0 -> ? With
the same hardware, no config changes, but different Mandrake installs,
my burner was sometimes 0,0,0. Your burner could also be scd<number?>
depending whether you have other scsi or scsi emulated devices, so
check your particular install.
Maybe i don't understand what you're askin ? mea culpa, sorry
