But I think it only handles ATAPI devices and not hard drives. ATAPI can be seen as a SCSI emulation over an IDE interface. Of course, in the case of hard drives, it could interpret SCSI commands and translate them, but I don't think it currently does. Maybe Uwe Seimet read us ? Or someone else could check that ?
