The new 2.6 kernels do not "include ide-scsi", they don't use scsi at all unless it is a true scsi device. The 2.6 kernels support ide cdrw drives natively without the need of the scsi hack. You should be treating the drives as ide drives not scsi. I generally use a front end (k3b) for cdrecord which set the parameters automatically but by running "cdrecord dev=help" and reading the man pages you should be able to use the atapi interface. Hope this helps RJP
