Joerg complains that ide-scsi doesn't work right anywhere, and that it
doesn't work at all with some values of PCMCIA, USB, parallel, firewire,
whatever. And Alan says that isn't going to be fixed until 2.6 (or 2.5.x
if you build your own kernel).
So we could change from something which reads CDs for virtually
everyone to something which doesn't work right at all, but will allow
the miniroty of people who are smart enough to have the right hardware,
but too stupid or lazy to change one line in a config file which would
be easily done if someone would put it in his config file.
The whole "works out of the box in Windows" amazes me, since I avoid
Windows because it is so hard to learn, with everything I want to use
seeming to need regedit and a bunch of files I can never find without a
full disk search. I like "make install" better :-(
