Of course they are. If your motherboard has an IDE bus, the proc interface will be there, no matter if you load the ide-scsi modules. That's the beauty ;) I use that (with the ide-scsi for my burner and ide-cd for my DVD) in my desktop machine, and it works. I use it too in my laptop DVD/CD-RW combo, and it works there too. I ask the exact same question some weeks ago, and someone (sorry, forgot the name and wipe my mail account) give me the right answer. The /proc IDE interface is there no matter what (I think at least you should select CONFIG_IDE=y in the kernel config, but I suppose EVERYONE has that... except those with a only-SCSI interface... but then again, if that's your case you don't need ide-scsi :)) Canek -- This life is a test.
