I had this fight with an external SCSI PLextor CD burner this past week.
However, ide-scsi stuff has no relation to SCSI hardware, its only for
IDE.
My IDE CD burner at home is accessed as /dev/sr0. The SCSI burner at
work can be mounted as /dev/sdd0 (very weird), but when i go to burn, i
don't even bother with the device, i just use the scsibus,target,lun
format in cdrecord. You could also use this for the IDE burners, BTW.
