It reflects reality quite nicely - that is one reason it is limited. Oh and
don't bother quuting wonderous things the drives can do from the ATAPI spec,
most drives can't.

ide-scsi as a protocol is very limited. Many CD-ROM drives also dont
support it.

People are wlecome to fix the ide-scsi code. They should talk to Jens Axboe
and Eric Youngdale about it not me. I am all for people fixing bugs in it
where they exist.
As I understand it the longer term plan for 2.5 is to rip out all the old scsi
compatibility gunge in the scsi mid layer and move to a more freebsd like set
up.
