I don't know. I do know that, for all the things I use hdparm, I can use the
/proc interface; but I don't know if hdparm can do something that can't be

Use the /proc interface:
/proc/ide/hd[a-d]/settings
To set DMA (for example):
echo "using_dma

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

Use the /proc interface:

To set DMA (for example):
echo "using_dma:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settin
Hi ppl,
Anyone know how to set (and check), the various IDE features, such as
DMA, for cd drives that are being emulated by the ide-scsi generic driver?
Normally i'd use hdparm on the /dev/ide/blahblah...
But once they are being governed by the ide-scsi driver, they appear in
/dev/scsi/blahblah
