I am using Kernel 2.6.8 and I did have to enable it to make cdrecord work, (I think it works now...) But initially, I had issues with that. cdrecord -scanbus wouldn't return any devices and seemed to only care about my IDE-drives when emulated. If this is obsolete, I would like to know what you do differently.
Then I booted into Windows, since I haven't figured out how to make SANE work with my hp5100C. Yes, this is a ppSCSI SANE-HP device... I know that much.
Upon Booting into windows, I realized that I had no CD-Drives! In the Hardware Manager, I saw my DVD, My CDRW, and a SCSI CDRW. I have no SCSI CDRW and thus I found this to be quite odd.
To enable the SCSI emulation, I did:
dmesg | grep ATAPI
then I added: modprobe ide-scsi
to my /etc/init.d/rcS.d
Version of Linux is Debian if you couldn't tell from that.
Thus, I now have <cdrecord -dev=1,0,0 isof.iso> working, but I am enormously curious as to why Windows saw the SCSI drive. I only use Windows for Scanner-work and so this isn't too big of a deal yet, but I am now very intrigued.

What kernel are you running? SCSI emulation for CD writers is obsolete and
unnecessary in kernel 2.6.x, I didn't enable it and my burner is functioning
fine.

Burning did not work.
Windows now also sees a Scsi CD drive and refuses to load drivers for any
ATAPI cd-drives.
Does anybody know why the scsi-emu drive stuck around? Is this something
that got written to the ROM of the drive? Or to some sort of CMOS on the
Motherboard? Any ideas would be cool.
