I updated my laptop to -test11 a couple of hours ago and burnt my first cd using ide-cd. Not having made (nor planning to make) any benchmarks, the following is to be taken with a grain of salt: I used a recent xcdroast with a Matshita (Panasonic) ATAPI CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive (model UJDA740) and was impressed. It Just Worked (TM) and performance was excellent (at 16x), barely using any cpu at all. Although ide-scsi has been faithful to me, I'm glad that the legacy emulated scsi code has finally been replaced in favour of native ide/atapi. I don't really care whether it's dev=0,0,0 or dev=/dev/cdrom, though from a HCI point of view, the latter is better, but I definitely want to thank those responsible. I'm sure that a lot of effort has gone into making this possible. My laptop _doesn't have_ any scsi hardware, so why should I then have to select the scsi tree in my kernel config?? Happily, no more. -- Paul Marinceu http://elixxir.ucc.asn.au
