And... Does it realy work?!
I wanted to buy an HP-CDRW (rewriteable), which only comes with an IDE
interface. The problem was that currently no cd-writing software for
Linux supports this model, or for that matter any IDE CDR.
I was thinking about the SCSI-IDE driver as a possible solution, but
couldn't find any reports about successful utilization of this driver
with CDRs. Meanwhile I decided to postpone the purchase till I have some
more information about it. I'll be grateful for any tips.
While we're at it - I have another question concerning CD burning. From
the CDR-Howto it appears that there is currently no way to make CD-->CD
a copy of music CDs under Linux. Could that be true??? Anyone has
experience with that?

P.S. If anyone is interested in the aforementioned CDRW, I think I can
get it for a very good price, so let me know.
