You are on the right track but ide burners are seen as scsi due to the scsi 
subsystem being used.
If you do 'cdrecord --scanbus' it will tell you the devices available to you.

“Obviously the answer is drilling for oil in Alaska. Only through a unilateral 
coordinated effort between both democrats and republicans can we end this 
dispicable act of ungodliness. I propose an ammendment to the constitution 
called... say.. the PATRIOT act, that outlaws these atrocities along with 
securing our national security infrastructure by issuing national ID badges and 
opening Yellowstone National Park and the Alaskan reserves to liberation of 
natural resources for the betterment of our society as a whole.  It's the 
American thing to do... if you argue, the terrorists have already won.“

Subject: Help for a newbie

    Hi, pluggers!   I'm very very new at this, and I'm having a ball getting my 
feet wet with linux.  I've already solved quite a few of my own questions with 
a little research, but I'm not sure this is gonna be an every day kinda 
question.  Here goes. . . .  I've been having no luck at all burning an audio 
cd  (any kind of CD, really)  with the linux system.  I don't think that it is 
any problem with any of the cd writing tools I'm using (I've tried several)  I 
think the problem lies with the fact that my drives  cd, hd, etc. are all 
showing up as scsi drives when they are all on ide.  I'm new but I don't think 
that's normal!!  if it's not, just as an exercise, I'd really like to try to 
fix that without reinstalling.  Thanks to anybody who responds in advance!


Cary
