I believe I forgot to do a group reply on my previous reply
to Søren.
OK, it seems a misunderstanding of the term ATAPI.
The author of cdrecord, Joerg Schilling, told me - I will translate:
Citation:
"You havn't understood what ATAPI is!
ATAPI *is* SCSI over IDE transport. Thus a SCSI system has to have
a hostadapter driver for the IDE bus.
*All* OSs despite FreeBSD do that right. Under Linux unfortunately
it isn't the default."
