[DISCUSSION]: 2.4.1-pre8: Detection of CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW drives

[Shawn Starr]

In 2.4.1-pre8, this info appears in dmesg:

SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
  Vendor: YAMAHA    Model: CRW2100E          Rev: 1.0H
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02

hdc: YAMAHA CRW2100E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

This model isn't DVD ;)

It's a CD-ROM/CD-R/RW drive 8MB cache 40x read, as detected by the
standard ATAPI drivers. the SCSI emulation doesnt appear to detect the
right kind of drive (its assuming its a CD-ROM only?)
