In kernels 2.4 and below, you need to turn on SCSI emulation (ide-scsi).

Ah! Now, I know, why I shouldn't be using Redhat Linux 9.0 or atleast learn to compile a new kernel. ;)

In 2.6, just pass cdrecord the ATA device.

cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc foo.iso

I'll see if I can try this over Kubuntu, when I install it after some weeks. (or FC5)

Consequently cdrw tools became the norm for CD writing.

and they use cdrecord internally and emulate IDE-SCSI for ATAPI drives. (Correct me if I am wrong)

On Debian Sarge this is documented in detail at: /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup

Hey, thanks for this. I don't know why, but I always forget that there is this directory where most of the packages, that I have installed, have its documentation.

I have got a similar file (README.ATAPI), that has helped me understand more details. Thanks! (to all the three of you!)
