ATAPI drives use the SCSI interface for access. Don't remove the IDE-SCSI
translation. cdrecord can only write to the SCSI interface. If you remove
the IDE-SCSI translation, you will no longer be able to burn CD's in Linux.
(If you also run NT4, you will see that NT also identifies the drive as a
SCSI drive. Go to control panel and click on the SCSI icon. You will see
the ATAPI device driver and your CD-RW drive listed below it.)
HTH,
Matt
