I've been using an atapi CD-ROM for years and I've never had to use this
ide-scsi stuff. Could someone tell me where I go to learm more about it --
what it's for and when it's needed?
I checked in /usr/doc, /usr/doc/HOWTO, and /usr/src/linux/Documentation for
pertient files, but found none. Any direction is appreciated.

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
