The ide2scsi emulates an SCSI Bus. If you have one Scsi Controller, now
you have two of them. (Only in Software ;-)

From CD-Writing-Howto v2.9.1, 05 May 2000:

If you load the IDE CD-Rom driver, then you can't access the Writer with
the generic scsi driver. But it should also be possible to mount the IDE
Writer as /dev/sg0.
