Michael,
The biggest use for IDE-SCSI is for CD-R and CD-RW drives. The
software is set up to use SCSI commands, and the IDE-SCSI driver lets it
control IDE burners with the SCSI commands. The other use that I know
about for it is CD changers. But there is software so that you can
control the IDE changers directly now.
