[ale] SCSI Emulation (CD-R)

[Geoffrey]

I'm curious about this.  I suspect that you compiled your kernel with 
both ide and scsi support enabled.  If so, then I suspect that it was a 
situation where the ide driver was 'winning' first, therefore the scsi 
driver was not used.

If you have the output of /var/log/messages before and after your fix, 
I'd like to check it out as a learning experience.  Possible?

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
