Take a look at the code. ide_cs is a standard plug in IDE driver. It does
nothing to violate any layering. So if its not handling cd burning its a
driver bug, not a conceptual bug

That would be something I dont think anyone would accept. Have no worries. I'd
be a bit annoyed too if I couldnt use my burner.

Linux does not support DMA over PCMCIA only over CardBus.

ide-cs was done by David Hinds. It probably isnt directly relevant to any
problems as it does the following

        Scan the PCMCIA descriptors
        Allocate an IDE device object
        Set the right IRQ, ports etc
        Enable the IRQ line
        Attach it as a generic random IDE pio device

I've not tested this driver with ide-scsi as my only pcmcia ide device is a 
hard disk. Cardbus IDE is handled as with any other PCI IDE device.
