Real problem, yes, but a different problem, maybe more solvable than ide-scsi in 2.6.

ioctl SG_IO mostly works since 2.6 in ide-cd without ide-scsi. Teaching the apps to know that new fact is a work in progress. plscsi -w, for example, as yet doesn't tell you that you can try ioctl SG_IO with /dev/hd[abcd], but though in fact that does work if you try, e.g.: plscsi /dev/hd[abcd]

Thanks for helping me learn. When you feel you & I have taught each other all we know, you might want to launch a new thread, to encourage someone else to contribute.

I haven't yet heard if boot: knoppix26 hdc=ide-cd hdd=ide-cd
made your PATAPI Zip appear in: plscsi /dev/hd[abcd]
