Depends. If you're still using drivers/ide then yes, it is. With libata (which is what most modern distros use), osst just works as an ATAPI transport. git log tells me ide-scsi has been updated quite a bit recently, but it mostly looks to be fallout around the drivers/ide churn. Can we get ide maintainer's buy in for this (I think they've been maintaining ide-tape and ide-cd in preference to ide-scsi)? James
