ALL CD writers use the SCSI command set. Fact. If it is an ATAPI
(IDE) CD writer, that only means that the SCSI command set is
transmitted to the device through an IDE interface, and a SCSI adapter
is not needed. This is what the ide-scsi module sets up for you.
While it then behaves like a SCSI device (try cdrecord -scanbus) it
really is not!
But ATAPI does represent a step towards industry-wide convergence of
SCSI and IDE.
