Just for the record (no pun intended) i have just 
installed fedora core 4 on a machine with an ide dvd-rw.

I tried "cdrecord --scanbus" and it shows the dvd 
as 0,0,0 so i tried "dev=0,0,0" and it failed 
cause it couldn't access the device.

I tried "dev=/dev/dvd" (symlink to /dev/hda) and it worked.

I thought with the scanbus option finding the 
device the ide-scsi emulation was working but 
apparently not. However this is what i get from
a "cdrecord --version" which may or may not explain it.:
