Actually, it depends on which kernel you're using.  If you do use 2.6.X, 
you'll discover that cdrecord can support ide drives despite giving an 
error when you for example use cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd.  If you are using 
2.4, then the old reliable at bootup hdc=scsi, and you have to select 
scsi emulation for your ide cdrom as well as finding out which of sr0, 
scd0 or whatever your cd is referred to when you try this.  The 2.6 
setup is much easier.
