That makes sense for very old systems only. I never used ST506 without SCSI
on UNIX and I _did_ use ST506 drives from 1985 to 1993. But ST506 drives make no
sense since 1994.

If the SCSI cdrom driver would support all special functions correctly, all users
of Linux would definitely prefer the ide-scsi solution as it allows to use
CD-writers without a reconfiguration. In addition, digital audio extraction
may be used this way too...
