It'll probably recongize it but may not set everything up like scsi emulation. Here's what Civileme wrote on how to set up: "SCSI Emulation is in two parts--first a message to the kernel to tell it to assume emulation is done Second is a modprobe of scsi and a link to the appropriate SCSI device The first part is simple in /etc/lilo.conf or in drakboot (Control Center Boot Config) make sure you have this in the append hdc=ide-scsi if for example it is hdc. Now in /dev you need to do the following cd /dev && rm cdrom2 && ln -s scd0 cdrom2 if, for example, the /etc/fstab entry uses /dev/cdrom2 for your CDRW. Finally somewhere you need a modprobe ide-scsi It can be dropped int the next to last line of /etc/rc.local (an extra one won't hurt if your system is already doing one) It is a little known fact that ordinaty plain vanilla CDROMs can also be scsi-emulated in the same manner. Our tests over the past 5 months show this works just as well as the dual structure we now support.
